Bored Panda reached out to Noah, who told us a bit about himself and his art.
Noah has a background in art, as he used to teach it, but now is a full-time painter. He wrote: “I am an oil painter from FL. I am a former art professor from FSU.”
Noah’s work could be interpreted in many ways. Is it a visual irony, a symbolism of consumption, or maybe just a postmodern aesthetic, or all of the above? When Noah was asked to describe the essence or theme behind his paintings, he simply responded: “I don’t describe my style or essence I leave that up to the viewers. I will say I most often paint still lifes.”
In an interview, Noah opened up as a very spiritual person. Therefore, when asked about his creative process and how he comes up with ideas for his paintings, he wrote: “I am spiritual by nature, and I rely on my relationship with Christ to inspire me through painting. Prayer and meditation.”
Noah also addressed his art style: “I have always been drawn to themes that make me feel an emotion.”
And lastly, Noah shared what he would like for audiences to take away from his art: “A good feeling and a happy emotion.”
He then followed that by adding: “I give all the glory to God.”
Well, this has got the most "vanitas" vibes, but I can sense them with the other pictures, too.
Brilliant Concept, excellent paintings. BP needs to show more of this type of art and a whole lot less of their gossip column, Jerry Springer-like garbage.
😋 To sum it up: excellent work. Transience depicted by fast food. I get a heartburn just looking at it. And I crave for a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich.
