Contd ……………………… his death.<br />
Mr. Warhol taught me that individuality can overcome all opposition in life and in art. When<br />
you create something so unique and different from the norm, it takes years for the critics and<br />
the art world to catch up with proper recognition and pricing, and embrace the new concept.<br />
But as with all great artists as Van Gogh, Gauguin, Modigliani and Warhol, the pricing rises<br />
with the rarity and uniqueness, of the process used. This is what makes the creation of a<br />
masterpiece possible. The boldness to paint a vision that has never been painted before of<br />
something so different and rare, that it becomes iconic, and represents the essence of the<br />
artist; and his work.<br />
"Warhol Naked" is my vision of a man who created "soup-cans" as art, and was laughed at by<br />
the critics of his time, until he transformed himself into the most iconic-figure in the art<br />
world. Most of the soup cans did not sell when they were first exhibited in 1962 at $100. The<br />
lack of sales did not deter Warhol, in 1962, as it did not deter Van Gogh or Modigliani earlier.<br />
Visionaries are free from the false concept of acceptance or non-acceptance of themselves, in<br />
their ideas, or in their creations, which limits all non visionaries into accepting conventional<br />
thinking instead of creating revolutionary ideas and artistic invention.<br />
By the time of his death in 1987 Warhol was the most famous artist in the world. The bright,<br />
bold, deeply shaped red, shining surface of the painting over the blue graffiti cosmic art<br />
written with the word “Warhol”, in "bright-white" acrylic paint, symbolizes Warhol's triumph<br />
over the art system of his time.<br />
Now everything is considered art, and everyone an artist, because of Andy's work, in art and<br />
film. Now everyone is a film maker. The freedom to be human, and try everything is the most<br />
basic human right in the world. Warhol was the liberator, of the human artistic experience.<br />
He was my friend, and this painting symbolizes my breakthrough in my own process of<br />
becoming the best individually unique artist of my time, and shunning all art systems. Cosmic<br />
Extensionalism Art is a direct result of the freedom I experienced when discussing art and<br />
technique, with the most famous pop artist in the world, Andy Warhol.<br />
WARHOL NAKED IS MY FINEST WORK, AND IN THE FUTURE WILL BE A LASTING ICON OF THIS CENTURY'S<br />
MOST APPRECIATED, NEW ART. EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE FOR THE VISIONARY WHO BELIEVES IN THEIR<br />
OWN WORK, AND THEIR OWN VISION. MOST PEOPLE AND ARTISTS IN THE WORLD ARE TAUGHT TO<br />
BELIEVE IN THE VISION OF OTHERS. THE ORIGINAL PAINTING "WARHOL NAKED" IS MY FINEST VISION.<br />
