Vincent
2024 • ACRYLIC & PLASTER • 12 in x 16 in CANVAS • ALEPH COLLECTION
This piece is named after Vincent van Gogh. Its softer blue shades and nearly-hidden cypress shapes were inspired by the (Lego) version of “The Starry Night” that’s hanging in my kitchen, right near where I usually paint.
In painting a collection focused on seeing things differently and neurodiversity, van Gogh would be perhaps an obvious source of inspiration... but this was actually one of the last pieces I painted in the series.
🎨 “What am I in the eyes of most people—a nonentity, an eccentric or an unpleasant person —somebody who has no position in society and never will have, in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then - even if that were absolutely true, then I should one day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart.”
— van Gogh, in a letter to his brother, Theo, from 1882
