Advertising Art
Commentary:
People pay thousands of dollars to have slick advertisements painted
for them. Granny probably would have done that, too, but she didn't
have thousands of dollars. So she hired Kevin Wilson, and untrained
neighborhood artist who does that kind of thing. Wilson's work
isn't slick but it is creative and full of life. He has managed
to turn a roast beef sandwich into a snorting bull. Compare it
with "Moo", and the works of "Artistic Board up".
They are truly art from within rather than outside the heart of
the community.
