FROM PRISON TO HOLLYWOOD: Dave Vescio’s Incredible Life Story In His Own Words

By on • ( 7 Comments )

Dave Vescio tell his incredible life story of how he went from a Soldier to an Ex-con to a Movie Villain to an Award-Winning Contemporary Artist!

“I went on the run for a year-and-a-half. I finally got caught and was sentenced to 10-years at Fort Leavenworth, a hard-labor, maximum-security prison for Department of Defense inmates. I lived amongst some of the worst criminals in the world. We had serial killers, rapists, child molesters, and even murderers. Which turned out to be the perfect training ground for me to study these monsters and figure out why they committed these horrific crimes. I did 5-years in total; two-and-a-half on the inside and two-and-a-half on federal parole.”

Central and Eastern European Art: A Veiled Treasure

By on • ( 1 Comment )

The global Art market is undergoing change as the world continues its progression towards globalization. That specific change is the diversification of a predominantly Western Art market. This is phenomenal, but itโ€™s also about time because it means that the Art market is finally beginning to include and value Art of all the different cultures that make up humanity. Now, not every culture or type of Art is valued or held to the same caliber yet, but we are getting there.ย 

One of the regions that still appears to be struggling to break into the Art Market is Central and Eastern Europe. Which is problematic because it leaves a massive gap in our understanding of Art movements, and how we are where we are in contemporary Art today. So, in order to understand what Central and Eastern European Art is, you will first need to understand what distinguishes the region from the rest of Europe.ย 

HUNTER BIDENโ€™S ART โ€“ FAME TRUMPS TALENT

By on • ( 1 Comment )

OPINION | Theย riseย of Hunter Bidenโ€™s art career proves that fame trumps talent.ย Itโ€™s aย discouragingย lessonย for many young, talented artists who are struggling to be noticed in the overcrowded art world. The message is clear, no matter how good your art is, unless you have famousย parents, chances are, you wonโ€™t make it.ย ย 

Those that decide to stay in the art game may takeย away a much moreย dangerousย lesson โ€“ to be noticed you must embrace scandalous decadence and become a self-destructiveย public figureย like Hunter Biden.ย After all it worked forย Andy Warhol, who was a lifelong drug addict; it worked forย Jackson Pollock, who was an alcoholic for most of his life; it worked forย Petr Pavlensky, who nailedย his scrotum to the ground; it just may work forย youย โ€“ right?ย ย

Exclusive Interview with Mike Habs, a Punk Rock Abstract Artist who Goes Big

By on • ( 2 Comments )

In my paintings, I work to leverage color and contrast to abstractly interpret songs that have had a meaningful impact or have helped me gain perspective throughout various points of my life. The paintings are my way of transcribing the enthusiasm, inspiration, and conceptual aspects I receive from this music, and the work then evolves as I continue to explore new techniques and approaches.
