Pedestal Pedestrians
Artist Statement
The allure around celebrities has always been intriguing to me. I cannot seem to understand why the image of the celebrity holds so much weight in modern society. Aside from money and fame, what's the difference between a celebrity and your average Joe? Through illustrative multimedia paintings, Pedestal Pedestrians consist of four bodies of work all done on wood panels utilizing the combination of acrylic paint, color pencil, charcoal and ink.
