Hey everybody, it’s about time we check in with our pal Hector Hernandez again to see what the Art Czar is up to…
In a recent post, the ‘Czar had an abbreviated conversation with pop artist Dave MacDowell:
Art Czar: Tell me about “Duck and Cover”
MacDowell: “Duck and Cover” was painted for a group show at Crewest Gallery in LA. I wanted an urban graffiti vibe to fit with the gallery, so I constructed the spray can out of cardboard and glued it to the canvas. The theme comments on human nature’s natural ability to lift up heros, only to knock them down. How anyone who has an original thought or idea outside of the status quo, usually gets silenced and sacrificed. People in power fear the power of the people.
Amen.
