I recently painted "Collection of Flies," a series of four 12-inch square paintings of flies in different colors, and entitled them "Fly North," "Fly East," "Fly West," and "Fly South." When he saw them, an artist friend of mine asked:
"A disease vector distributing misery and death to millions for centuries. Does this have some particular meaning for you as an art icon?"
I responded by asking him what HE saw in them. He said:
"Scott – Warholian multiples of a deadly global menace – unrecognized by westerners. Treated as if it were a bluebird. I don’t know if you are conscious of it, but you are projecting something deadly through an innocuous decorative image. Either well done bravo or what the f***. So, do you have layers of meaning here, or are you simplistic? I doubt the latter."
Well, what do YOU think? Please comment in the blog below to let me know.....
