Filthy Fluno’s Return to Second Life at The Janus Gallery - November 6-7th 1-6pm SLT

 


Filthy Fluno is a Second Life Art legend. His shows made waves in the SL art community and RL alike. It’s not often that a Second Life artist is so successful that the New York Times Magazine covers them. You can see the article here (https://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/08/magazine/08fluno-t.html). I know it may be behind a paywall, so here’s a quote: "CERTAINLY, FILTHY FLUNO is not the first artist to realize that in order to sell his paintings, he needs to sell himself. He does, however, work at it with impressive zeal. Every day he makes new friends and cultivates new contacts, edging himself and his work — a collection of expressionistic oil paintings and vibrant, graffiti-laced pastels — just a little bit farther into a universe that to others might appear huge and indifferent, but as Filthy sees it is stuffed with possibility and also potential customers. To this end, you will often find him wandering around art openings and dance parties, dressed in a spiffy suit and pair of sneakers, trying earnestly to chat up every person in the room." - Sara Corbett The New York Times Magazine March 5, 2009 In my mind the name, Filthy Fluno, stands alongside SL artists like Starax Statosky, Bryn Oh, Toysoldier Thor, and Milly Sharple. His work, his zeal, his personality impacted the community as a whole, and (on a personal note) he was one of the people who inspired me to bring my art into SL. After 10 years away from the grid, he is back with a whole new body of work, and the same level of zeal he was known for 12 years ago when that article was written. Enough gushing from me, let's get into the nitty-gritty. You want to know the details right?
