Today the number changed from 24 to 25. I don’t really understand what the big deal is about a one digit increase in a number I have absolutely no control over. Just like when the clock changes from two thousand whatever to two thousand whatever plus one. Seems to me like more of a pretty lame excuse to over eat/drink/spend.
Thank goodness!

Who are you and what do you do?
I am Jonathan Allmaier and I follow the work.
What inspires you?
Painting.
What themes do you pursue?
It seems to me that a theme is always abstracted from a given activity (e.g., a pursuit), so I don’t think a theme is the kind of thing that can be pursued.
Why art?
Most people, you and me for example, need a way to experience, learn, or remember that mental states are not distinct from physical states.
Name some artists you would like to be compared to.
Cimabue, for instance.
Paintings by Sean Robert Fitzgerald.
Opened up the busted receiver to find 10 years of dust and dirt and hair and grime, and now I’m not so surprised the thing died.
I bet you cant make it through art school without stealing from the internet. If you already say its an “interpretation” of something else, youve lost the bet.
All art is an interpretation of something else.
All art is an interpretation of something that someone else is doing much better because they werent making art. Go to war. Lay in a field. Eat some.soup. Piss in a urinal. But put it in a gallery? Whats wrong with you
I’m pretty sure this makes zero sense.
