This quote from David Choe about the NFS show (on the back of the card) is pretty awesome:
DavidChoe wrote: I'm an artist that lives in an uninspiring town. Not a day goes by where I don't get asked why I live in a cultural wasteland like San Jose and don't move to an artistically inspirational superior cultural mecca like New York, L.A. or Paris. In the end it comes down to two things: either you don't have it in you, and so you must live in big crazy city to inspire you to create, or you have so much inside that it's difficult to even contain — all the outside noise just becomes a distraction — and your surroundings don't effect your creative output, so you can live in towns called Fresno, Orange County or Truckee and create magic.
Aaron Horkey falls in the latter category, relatively unknown in the art world, having spent most of his days creating, painting, and drawing in the middle of nowhere, miles from anything, in the desolate state of Minnesota. All that doesn't change the fact that he may be one of the world's greatest living artists. He creates goat-headed heavy metal fantasies among other things — worlds that are haunting and surreal. His attention to detail is like he's actually creating the very things he's painting. The guy has a drymounting brush with one hair on it for chrissakes (I STILL CANT FIND ALL THE GOATS, CAN YOU?) And when you meet him he's a shy lanky unassuming guy ... you would never guess he's a hardcore ghetto MC, graffiti artist, and a pretty good skater.
In a time where we praise sloppy, naïve art a preschool kid could do type-fudge, along comes Horkey with his unbelievable painstakingly hand-drawn letters, and his old-school traditional techniques and draftsmanship, tackling untraditional subject matter.
You're in for a treat — we brought him out of the cave for this one. Good luck trying to buy one of his paintings though, I hear he sleeps with them, makes love to them and then has kids with them.
