PUSHY KISSER

« Usant d’une palette clairement empruntée au domaine de la décoration, les œuvres de George Henry Longly ancrent l’intérêt de l’artiste dans une forme de souillage de la pureté moderniste en convoquant des références esthétiques dépassées au design post-moderne et aux intérieurs domestiques. » (Wendy Vogel)

I am attracted to pictures that aren’t appreciated in contemporary art, but only if they have what you could call mythical potential. A cliché is only interesting if it contains a hidden truth.
