Little Richard is the KING of ROCK+ROLL!!!!

——-

In the early 1950’s, Elvis Presley captured the white, anglo gaze, and in turn, dominated mass media of the era. But do not for a second lose track of the birth of rock and roll; Big Mama Thornton. Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Little Richard. This is the base of the pyramid.

I am a maximalist painter with a slow build oil glaze technique. Chromatics are infinitely mesmerizing; I am inspired by 1970’s comic books, Kodachrome postcards, road side billboards and high fashion editorial advertising campaigns.
