I recently watched the HBO Documentary “The Art of Failure: Chuck Connelly Not for Sale”. It was a very good documentary, and it opened me up to his work. Chuck has a very interesting style, and I personally was drawn toward a lot of his Scaboda pieces. They are the pieces that were painted by his alter-ego which can be easily identified by a black dot as the signature. A few of the favorites that I saw in the documentary, I wasn’t able to locate on his gallery, but there is quite a cross section of his work within.

Below are a few to whet your appetite. Enjoy!
“Trojan Rocking Horse”
“Artist and Model”
“Gold City”

Hi there! Glad to hear you enjoyed the film! Now, the DVD of a longer version of the doc is available, and it also includes a funny 30 minutes-long extra feature with Chuck discussing some of his art. Check it out at http://www.theartoffailure.com
