We all were quite interested in his work and we wanted to investigate more about it; he is an American painter and sculptor but lately he has been focusing on drawing.
He took part of a group called Hallwalls, and a key event in his life was when they decided to go to New York to see exhibitions and that way they could get the vibe of New York city education.
I read an interview where he was talking about his work and he said that his job was to show how life is right now, as Rembrandt showed how was it in his time, and you can see that in his drawings, how he refers to the actual moment we are living.
His work seems to be photographically based although he sais it´s abstract in a way.
I was wondering why all of his latest artwork seem to be black and white and i found that it´s because he associate black and white with the truth, like old magazines that show black and white pictures of the war and then they have a colorful picture of a celebrity in the cover.
