| When
you see much of the shock value that passes as high art these days
(elephant dung on canvas, for example), you need a healthy dose
of punk-rock irreverance. Much of what I've done as an artist is
to inject some sense of fun and deflate the bloated egos of those
around me. So I end up hacking together abstract crayon drawings
and smart-alec names.
You
just know this will be worth millions at Sotheby's one day.
In
any event, this is a colorful piece that I enjoyed creating on the
bus. Perhaps it works better to think of all ten Georges as a complete
set; when you see all of these together you appreciate the diversity
in color and composition.
And,
oh, that title is a nice one, too. Artists shouldn't take themselves
so seriously. |
