"I think the first half of your life, you’re trying to find out who you are, and you’re kind of knocking yourself against things, and testing things the whole time, to help sculpt yourself. Then later, when you get as close to sculpted as possible, you’re, like, don’t touch anything, in case it changes me."
Phoebe Waller-Bridge
Angels With Dirty Faces
by Joe Grenn
Angels With Dirty Faces portrays two young girls on the way home. It was inspired by my travels in Southeast Asia and reveals my interest in painting narratives of native people not yet influenced by Western civilization. Oil on canvas, 30" x 40".
Andy Warhol
The coal miner's son who made it big time in the Big Apple and perhaps spawned the Kardashian rage and Instagram. I always wondered what the big deal was with Andy Warhol's art. But the more I read about Andy Warhol, the more I appreciated his contributions.
There are more stars in the universe than seconds that have passed since the Earth formed, more stars than words and sounds ever uttered by all humans who ever lived.
