arisman




Here is a great photo of my friend and former professor Marshall Arisman www.marshallarisman.com He is one of the few guys out there carrying the torch of great art. We went out east on Long Island with my brother to find Buffalo (obviously we found them.) Marshall does amazing paintings of Buffalo and other "sacred animals." Stepping into Marshall's studio in NYC is akin to entering a shrine, a temple or church. Studying with him in SVA was important for Gardega because It helped me hold fast to my belief in the spirit side of art and kept me from the other side of SVA--- that of the anal retentive lifeless rendering school of thought.
