Strange Art by Jeremiah Palecek

Hi all. I’m back. Anyone who has ever seen the Film Basquiat may recall the quote from Rene Ricard “Don’t ever tell an artist you like something as they will invariably change it”.  Well, that’s kind of how I felt.   So over the last month I worked on this painting. It’s big, like 1 meter by 2 meters. It’s part of my new series of paintings.  For this series I’m going to do what every disgruntled  16 year old says he’s gonna do. I’m going to make up my own religion.  I’m currently very interested in the works of John Smith and L Ron Hubbard. Two men who wrote books that people adopted as legend and in some cases believe as truth.  All of these paintings were conceived via Divine Revelation while wandering around Vitkov in Prague.  In this painting we see an eaglock descending into an uninhabited Missouri plain.  Missouri is in fact sacred American soil similar to eden.
