These 3 pieces listed above are my personal Triptych of Art, as the Cosmic Harley Davidson was<br />
completed in 2010, exactly 500 Years a er the famous "Garden of Earthly Delights" triptych was<br />
completed by Bosch; in about 1510, now in the Prado Museum, Madrid. "Hieronymus Bosch,<br />
The Garden of Earthly Delights, oil<br />
on oak panels, 220 cm × 389 cm<br />
(87 in × 153 in), Museo del Prado,<br />
Madrid. Each of the 3 objects listed,<br />
were the seminal moments in the<br />
history of my art form ‘Cosmic<br />
Extensionalism’. I feel the same<br />
way about the Cosmic Starship<br />
Harley, and the Cosmic Firebird<br />
Pain ng, works of art standing<br />
alongside Warhol Naked that will<br />
always defin me, and my art<br />
creation ’Cosmic Extensionalism’.<br />
All 3 objects of my art, are each the<br />
refle tion f the same dream, and the same arti ti truth. Through Warhol, and all the visionary<br />
arti ts that came before him, I understood that to be the best, you simply could not conform or<br />
alter your vision, to please a dealer or a buyer of my work, because the conformity would have<br />
destroyed the unique imagination behind the masterpiece. Once imagina on is removed, there<br />
is no masterpiece. This is true in all the arts, from the Individual art masterpiece, to fil , music,<br />
and poetry-No Passion, No Imagination No Fire, No Art. There is nothing of value In any object<br />
that was created without passion. There have been millions of painti gs created and sold<br />
throughout ti e, and the few, that achieve the highest amounts at auc on, become<br />
extraordinary examples of the arti t's work, and the most uniquely powerful objects in our<br />
ti e.<br />
The rarest ones, most refl cti e of the arti t's life and style, become famous. When you say the<br />
words, Van Gogh, you think of Starry Night, or Yellow, Sun Flowers. The art would not exist<br />
without Vincent's creation. But Vincent would not have existed, as we now understand him,<br />
had he not created the seminal piece of his "new" style of art, which is his masterpiece, "Starry<br />
Night." Today, at auction it would bring 1 Billion Dollars or more, because it is pain ng that most<br />
closely defin s and identifie the arti t in the art he created.<br />
