The Pizz - "No More Mr. Nice Guy"
The
Pizz. Self-taught, self-employed, and self-destructive, Pizz took a
self-imposed break from painting during which he explored other media,
such as magazine illustration, TV commercial design work, and computer
animation. The break has done him good - the new crop of acrylics are his
best work so far, presenting a quantum leap in form, style, and structure.
Heightened color; torqued-into-overdrive radical perspective; density of
imagery and twisting narrative distinguishes each piece from the other in
style, subject matter, and delivery. Avoiding the E-Z marketing schemes of
many of his artistic brethren, The Pizz stays true to his underground
roots and uses the medium of painting as a forum to launch into his
diatribes, rants, and dissertations against various perceived evils,
sacred cows, and questionable institutions.
