Posted by on Jan 22, 2013 in ART

Ever dream that you were someone else, something else, somewhere else?  Have you stretched your horizons? Testing new territories, challenging yourself with updated goals? Try making the most of those thoughts. We can’t wait to watch your potential unfold.
Talented oil painter Tyree Callahan from Arizona captures landscapes featuring real life encounters tucked away in his memory. Hazy reflections in a lake or energizing sunsets through the forest trees, he presents a delightful side of nature that speaks to your soul. His work is never titled, for he doesn’t want to affect the audience’s opinion. It is his most cherished joy to hear their ideas of his whereabouts or subjects portrayed.

In this series, he has taken a classic subject transforming it into a hip conceptual art piece. The Chromatic Typewriter has changed it up a bit, going from predictable text to exciting possibilities. It’s quirky makeover has opened our eyes to new possibilities for the old timer machine. All the mechanics are still intact in this 1937 Underwood Standard Typewriter. He’s administered a minor transformation in its production, replacing letters with paint swatches. The vintage body takes on a fashionable coat as the keys patiently wait their debut. The print scrolls out the platen, unveiling a lovely painting. It proudly surprises us all with the newly improved output.  Causing us to smile, helping us dream.
