Interview with David SladerQ: Why do you paint?
A: If I don't pain, I get depressed. If I do paint, I get to make other people depressed. Much better.
Q: Why are your paintings squares?
A: I'm cheap. Home Depot sells the boards I like in 2'x4' panels. If I cut in half, I get two!
Q: Why do you apply paint so thick?
A: It's called "impasto." I think that means playing with pasta. It's fun, like a food fight. Try it.
Q: Why do you focus on faces so tightly?
A: I don't mean to, but the models keep moving toward me. I think they are trying to attack.
Q: What are your paintings trying to say?
A: If I ever catch one of my paintings saying anything, I will turn it into a landscape - with a rainbow.
Q: Shouldn't artists strive to make a point?
A: No, that's why we have Fox News.
Q: Is it true your paintings caused a riot when they were exhibited in New York?
A: I don't comment on pending litigation.

I heard that the jury just loved David's bold strokes and
use of color. I look forward to seeing David's paintings up close and personal!
Fun interview! An artist with a sense of humor!
