Today, I’m having a conversation with American artist Christopher Mudgett, talking about his work, the meaning of black/white, cubism, the art market, future projects and more.
His art lives and dies on the canvas and inspires him to triumph over his doubts and fears to be victorious. Mudgett draws maximum inspiration from life itself. The people with whom he corresponds daily, the ideas and beliefs that are closest to his soul, love in his heart and the doubts and fears he has of himself.
In the current “on-demand” zeitgeist where everything is based on the concept of instant gratification, even Art has developed a somewhat duplicitous persona. But there are still a handful of dedicated artists who believe in perfecting one’s craft, and upholding the integrity of the creative process.
With an unrelenting attention to detail, evoked with emotion and humanity, artist Christopher Mudgett brings his experiences to life. By giving freely of himself to his art, his ideas are translated into a moving depiction of feeling, which lends itself to a deeper and more meaningful visual story.
"Creation is invention. It is bringing in to world consciousness something that didn't previously exist. It is the birth of an idea and the ability to transform it into the realm of the tangible."
