New York City base artist Trudy Benson is currently showing at the Mike Weiss gallery and we had a chance to interview her as she sat down in her studio to discuss many aspects of her painting process.

…hacking has been elevated from the purely technical realm of science and engineering to that of an art…one that can be mastered. The terms “elegance”, “expression” and “think outside the box” each appeared once.

Once called a “bad boy” of the Japanese art world, his newly completed Ash Color Mountains gives another impression of the artist.

…every show is good practice in some way.

…works that mesh Mickey Mouse and Michelangelo, revolvers and circuit boards, mirrors and neon lights.

“Everyone can take a photograph at a very basic camera but the difference between a good photo and a bad photo is in the subtleties.”

“I just want to say right now, if you dress like that, girl, honestly, there’s nothing wrong. The only way its wrong is that we’ve been told for centuries, from time to time, that sort of look is negative.”

Budde’s work is exotic, colorful and always fun to look at.

NYAB catches up with David at Lisa Cooley Fine Art to discuss how his current show’s theme of schadenfreude applies to the blogosphere and the state of the art world in a retrograde economy.
