Create Now For Later
How do you create?
What is your method? How do you approach the blank page?
Are you creating for now?
Or for the future?
For an audience that hasn’t even been born...
John & Gordon open up and chat a bit about their processes & influences.
We get interesting insights on how John crafted and modelled some of his superhero characters in the “Danger Club” series.
In a revealing discussion of Gordon’s painting processes, we learn what used to be an immediate reaction of reflection on the world around, has turned into a long view of documenting the eventual change of humanity in our daily lives.
“20 years after doing the show (“Subdivisions” 2002, @Kimberly Venardos Gallery NYC) the reality of what I was painting is coming into existence. And I always knew that would happen. Yes, this is now how my work plays out. This is how it all makes sense. But you didn’t get it off the bat. Your were just looking at paintings by this 29 year old artist. But really it was the 40-something person inside me that was saying these (paintings) aren’t even going to be out of the oven and ready to serve for another 20 years... when the actual world catches up to them... and the malls are falling apart and the economy has to shift because this was never sustainable to begin with. Contact Vince or Ali at Meow Wolf... they’ll fix up that old shopping mall for ya!” -Gordon Meier
