Artist Statement
My work examines cultural expressions of identity as it relates to American social class. The painted imagery is meant to test the viewer’s assumptions and tolerance towards particular lifestyle choices and interests that are both commonplace and objectionable by carving into the lowest socioeconomic rungs to mine for imagery and attitude.
However repulsive or depressing it may be, everything depicted in the work exists in some form in our cultural sphere. Ultimately, the paintings are asking the viewer how they relate to these truths and what it means if they must turn away. Part social critique and part self-reflection, the paintings are a platform for me to better understand where I fit in as an American.
The views expressed by our artists in their artist statements do not necessarily represent the views of our art galleries. Artists can be visually expressive but may verbally misrepresent their true intentions or ideas. Please note that we support expression, whether it is controversial or not, but our intention is never to offend.
