Artistic Vision (via Chris Ernst):
I am intrigued by the deconstruction of pop art through the process of human fabrication. I believe detours along the creative journey often result in new, captivating destinations.
I have a strong linear focus and an emphasis on complementary colors. The mood is both fresh and nostalgic at the same time. I love when a new piece combines inspirations from my childhood with an original perspective.
My work attempts to capture those indelible moments when an image pops into my head and I know I have to bring it to life. I embark on the journey knowing full well the pursuit will inevitably lead me somewhere different altogether. The beauty is in the journey.
My approach as a self-taught, outsider artist is a reflection of my various homes, including Indiana, Virginia and New Jersey.
If my art was a party, musical stars would mingle with icons of the silver screen, cartoon clouds and a very special cow. Pop art would line the walls. I would DJ and freak out each time the crowd roared to an old school jam.
