Internationally acclaimed Boston artist, Bren Bataclan will debut his latest painting series "Oil Spill Animal Victims" during November at the Bee Gallery. For six years, Bataclan has been spreading hope and smiles internationally one city at a time by leaving his free paintings in unexpected places with an encouraging note.
Bataclan paints cartoon inspired acrylic paintings and murals; “I leave paintings for folks to take for... free across the country and around the world. I believe that giving away paintings with a hopeful note is one of the best ways I can help out during this economic downturn.” He has received a ton of press for his positive mission including CBS Evening News, Smithsonian Magazine, The International Filipino, and Readers Digest. Bataclan is scheduled to speak at Rollins College the morning of November 11th about being a Filipino artist.
In 2008, Brenda Kato, co-owner of the Bee Gallery caught Bren Bataclan in the act of leaving a painting near the escalators in the Port Authority in New York City. Never having learned to not talk to strangers, Brenda ran up to see what Bataclan was doing. Bataclan explained his “Smile Project” and gave her the painting. Brenda also happened to have some of her art with her. They exchanged art and contact information and have been friends since then. “When I saw Bataclan’s new series of “Oil Spill Animal Victums” paintings I wanted Bee Gallery to be the first to show them.”
A portion of each sale will be donated to an organization helping the animals victimized by the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The Bee Gallery will also be offering Bataclan T-shirts and other merchandise for sale.
Media Interview and Photo Opportunity: November 11th from 5PM to 9PM. Additional times may be available upon request.
