His main objective is to capture the dirty little activities and desires of people in the suburbs in his art.
With his art he can make you feel awkward and uncomfortable while you look at it. I concur, because even though his art has a really great point, it makes me feel weird by just looking at it. There is something about looking at naked people that society has instilled in me. His paintings feature the voice, more or less capture the essence of the dirty voice in everyone's head. He puts on a canvas what we all want to say or what we secretly wish we hadn't done. Its the pure graphic nature of his work that makes it what it is. The piece below was actually a large source of contingency when it came out. Many people wouldn't look at it because it came out right around 9/11 and reminded civilians of people falling from the twin towers. Some of his art is just so raw that it is hard to deny the nature of it. The piece above is like that dirty little secret from 3 summers back that still lingers over head. Not proud of it, but unable to forget.
