Drawing since the age of four, it was evident that Dez Einswell possessed a vivid imagination, doodling for hours upon hours. Today Dez is no different, as he has created an alternate universe where its inhabitants known as “The Doodlebarn” venture forth and explore the world in unconventional means that are often silly and alarmingly at times dark. Dez casually states, “Children are the essence of freedom in the mind.” In many ways, what Dez implies is true, children are uninhibited in their ways and display an open air of curiosity, it’s something that when we all grow old, we seem to lose. Using a wide array of color and applying sharp bold strokes, the creation of the The Doodlebarn come alive as they seem to relish in grabbing our attention, drawing us into their world. A critical commentary on mankind’s innate want to remain young and optimistic, Dez Einswell allows us take a second glance at the lives we lead as adults…

We are proud to have him as our third artist in our gallery series. To commemorate this show Dez Einswell worked with XLARGE to produce special items that will be available exclusively at the XLARGE stores. The show opening will be on July 19th, Thursday. Drinks will be provided by Sapporo Beer.
