A Reasonable Plan

I rarely work from sketches or formulated ideas. I simply have an idea or some sort of situation that arises in my head and I try to formulate it onto the canvas. These situations are not always meant to be comfortable or conclusive, rather I strive for those awkward and nervous moments that I imagine everyone might encounter if they were in that situation. Of course, my paintings are political. All art is political one way or another. The greatest challenge for myself is to not make propaganda art. Art that defines one way of looking at something or one idea that is easily interpreted is not always interesting art. While this kind of art might be agreeable it is also dangerous art. When art has become a marketing tool I doubt that it can any longer be a critic.
