THE PINBALL ART OF DOUG WATSON

"Barracora"  1981 by Doug Watson

Doug Watson is an artist who lived in interesting times. During his years at Advertising Posters, the main suppliers of pinball art until their demise, he created some of the most original fantasy art to grace a backglass. Following his arrival at Bally in 1982 and later at Williams in 1985 he continued this tradition in oil paintings. Presented for the first time anywhere, are the original paintings for machines made from 1983 to 1996.  Come and meet Doug in person at the opening reception on Friday October 8th.

Curator's Notes:

Doug Watson is one of those artists whose work stands out because of it's originality, aesthetic beauty and concept. He had free reign in many of his projects and he took full advantage of it delivering brain boggling pieces that draw you in and keep you coming back for more. We are incredibly honored to be able to display his work in our gallery.
