Phil Frost 1997

Back in 1997 I met Phil Frost through a mutual friend, and stayed with him in NYC on my way to Egypt for an art history tour. We traded pieces, I gave him a small oil painting on rusted metal and he gave me this piece, which I have hanging in my home.

I was prompted to photograph and post this piece after reading an article in the New York Magazine’s art section, which questions what they believed to be a lost Basquiat, which people who are aware of Frosts work from that era will clearly see that it is an unfinished work of his.

Here is another Link to a work of Phil Frost’s from that era. Note the similarity between the “devil” on the door and Frosts characters from that era.

Super Zombie Jesus

On a recent trip to the Smithsonian museum I noticed that an old version of Jesus with the sacred heart had a resemblance to Clark Kent revealing his superman suit underneath his business clothes. This was the inspiration for super zombie jesus. I am interested in how mythologies are reflected in media, how threads of mythologies intertwine. Who are our heroes? Our enemies? Whom do we learn to look up to, whom do we learn to despise? What cultivates our self control and mastery? Fear or Love? How are mythologies used to help define our decision making process? How are mythologies used to reinforce stereotypes? What images do we find offensive? What images do we find attractive? How do images shape and mold our consciousness? I’ve got more questions than answers.
