The Art of Failure on HBO Monday

Akris by ConnellyWe're excited to note that HBO will be airing a documentary about a Philadelphia painter. The Art of Failure is a feature documentary "about the life of Chuck Connelly, a brilliant yet enigmatic painter who had great success as a young artist in the art boom of the 1980s but who has perpetuated a long downward spiral in his career due to ego, drugs, women, and alcohol. He now is increasingly fearful of his fate. Driven by desperation, Connelly comes up with several crazy schemes to sell his work to galleries and stage a comeback in the art world."

The film will air on HBO this Monday, July 7th at 9pm EST. There are more broadcast dates here and Connelly's website is here.

Connelly is represented in the Philadelphia area by The Knapp Gallery which currently has some of his work on exhibit as part of "The New Philadelphia School" exhibition (through August 24). It includes work by Tom Brady, Chuck Connelly, Giappo DiFederico, Jon Eckel, Adam Lee Farrell, and R. Michael Walsh.

We actually saw a recent Chuck Connelly solo at Knapp Gallery a few months ago, and were intrigued not only by the painterly and brushy work inspired by high fashion advertising, but by the even more intriguing use of a huge black dot on his paintings as a sort of odd mark or signature that didn't really belong, and yet, in an unexpected way (once noted), unified the work. See most of that work here.

The Knapp Gallery is located at 162 N 3rd St. between Quarry and Race Streets.
