Dyno Painting

Mixed media on recycled crate wood "The Month of May" is a captivating collection of contemporary mixed media artworks by Indiana native and artist, Kris Gebhardt. Known primarily for his extra-large head and figure paintings, Gebhardt has, in this collection, scaled down to a more intimate medium-size while maintaining the raw intensity of his signature style. This series uniquely intertwines his artistry with the high-energy world of his hometown's iconic Indianapolis 500 race. Each piece in the collection is beautifully rendered on a distressed panel of recycled crate wood, an unconventional canvas that imbues the artwork with an intrinsic sense of history and authenticity. The figures, drawn from the world of elite motor racing, are presented through partially depicted forms, sketched, scratched, and aggressively painted. Their rawness and power are impossible to ignore, echoing the visceral thrill of the race itself. Through his vivid and emotive depiction, Gebhardt taps into the tenacity, courage, and resilience of the drivers, bringing to the fore not just their physical prowess, but also their mental strength and determination. His artworks are not just a visual exploration of these athletes, but an emotional tribute to their indefatigable spirit. The series captures the essence of the Indy 500, an event often hailed as the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. Annually attracting over 300,000 fans to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS), the race is a testament to the indomitable human will to conquer speed, time, and risk. In this light, Gebhardt's paintings are as much about the sport as they are about the universal human experience of struggle, perseverance, and triumph. This year, the GMR Grand Prix runs from May 12-13, culminating in the 107th running of the Indy 500 on Sunday, May 28, 2023. "The Month of May" by Kris Gebhardt is a fitting artistic homage to this global event, capturing its energy, spirit, and tradition in his uniquely powerful style.
