If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?
Conceptual, Painting
I am...
I am a reasonable man.
About my artwork
To make a long story short, my paintings include a wide variety of subject areas, both public and private. Piece by piece, I take common global American English idioms and organize them into compositions of a word or collection of colloquialisms which reflect a common understanding and turn it on its ear. Throwing some light on the subject, the texts are always painted in a digital font which is technical, empirical and precise while the subjects are casual and informal.

As far as I can see, American idiomatic expressions are the perfect folk art, they belong to no one, are not authored by anyone but are used by everyone. They are readymade pure media by any stretch of the imagination.

Practising without a license, my work consists of handmade signs reflecting commonly expressed thoughts through an image of high tech. Drawing conclusions from roots in Pop, Conceptual, Fluxus, advertising and journalism, my artworks are prompts for thinking outside the box and ahead of the curve.
