2nd Street Gallery will be displaying ‘Inner Workings’, a solo exhibition by Randy Gaul!
The Inner Workings show, created by Randy Gaul, is a collection of artwork that spans decades of personal work. Within the show are imaginary worlds, creatures and observations brought together by life experience before the film industry and after. Additional works include furniture, lights and custom frames made from reclaimed materials from job sites and local surroundings. Randy continues in the film industry pitching original content and showing in galleries.
“My soul as an artist has always existed. My continuing film work is but a small portion of my expressive passion as an artist. As the film industry fell into prequels, sequels and other uninspired projects, it was vital to me to nurture that which has always been there within me. I am now very careful what industry projects I work on and with whom.”
