GIVE ME A DOODLE INSTEAD: Part III of "What is an Artist?"

 

 

 

 

“I hadn't picked up a paintbrush or spray can for almost a decade when I first starting fucking around with drawing and painting again,” wrote Hanksy, the pun-master known for his quirky mash-ups of Tom Hanks’ head on various animal bodies. (Yup, you read that right.) “I constantly dodge the label when talking about myself in interviews. In my opinion, it's a heavy term. One that I'm still struggling to figure out. Some people call me an artist; most do not. I find that those who spend bags and bags of money getting a degree - which stamps them official artists - have a more specific and hardened definition. And that's cool. I guess the general consensus is that to be called an artist, you must be creative. I'll take that ticket.”

Outdoor Gallery - Book Signing at Station 16 Gallery

Growing up in New York City during the ‘80s, what one would now refer to as “old-school graffiti” surrounded Yoav Litvin. Several years ago, following a sports injury that disallowed Litvin from any physical activity other than walking, he began exploring the city by foot for miles upon miles while simultaneously discovering the urban arts of the city. Litvin found himself overwhelmed by the progression of graffiti culture into the contemporary trend of street art currently flourishing New York City, which led to an avid following of the movement. As a photographer, Litvin naturally documented the city streets through his camera, resulting in visual recording of the city’s landscape, as well as the idea to create Outdoor Gallery.
