Gunnar Tarsa, also known by his artist name Scribble Warlock, is a paint pen and digital Procreate artist who was selected as this year’s theme artist for the upcoming AthFest Music & Arts Festival. A 27-year-old who has been an artist since his early youth, Tarsa focuses on abstract designs mainly created in black and white while utilizing small amounts of primary colors for contrast. Tarsa also focuses on illustrating superhero inspired characters which are repeated in various pieces to create a universe within his art which he dubbed the Chromasphere. “I always wanted to be a superhero as a kid,” says Tarsa in his exhibition statement. “I could tell stories with art, and that kind of felt like a superpower.” Tarsa’s work ranges from bleak, colorless designs to brightly colored fruit. This exhibition, “Scribble Warlock’s Toy Depot,” includes 100 framed pieces. tiny ATH gallery will additionally host a closing reception on Third Thursday, June 15 from 6-9 p.m.
