deville # 33
moving back towards the front of the gallery – AD DeVILLE’S – wanna watch ? – ‘POCKET WATCH MAN’ catches our eye.
a limited screenprint. it’s $50. ohhhh for 50 bucks !!! I would – if I could.
(that’s how bad this year is – don’t even have a lowdown $50 to blow on art – what with the quote unquote recession, trickling down. and BERNIE MADE-OFF – I mean MADOFF – which is pronounced – MADE-OFF !!
a lot of the people he swindled were just plain dumb and/or plain crooks – they were so head-over-heels rolling around in the big mega-bucks – they didn’t really want to double check, those phony baloney invoice statements – full of zeros, as in millions and billions. now, they really have all the zeroes they want !! talk about a 50 BILLION $$ NYC SCAM- ARTIST !! heard tell – some of them were art buyers – on some level. probably not on cool stuff like this – but hey, let’s not go into that… its already bad enuff. it’s the last thing we need in NYC coming down the pipeline, and hitting all us little guys – at the end of the food chain. the guys at the top of the chain – are no joke – falling like flies. .. with some taking the real exit out – swinging from DIY closet nooses in London and slitting their wrists over wastebaskets in NYC).
and everyone says – its gonna get worse. so back to the art !!
… anybody wanna buy a watch, how about a hedge fund ?
AD DeVILLE – nailed it. he’s got the current culture down on paper. and what’s best about it – his art – besides it’s flat-out truth – and predilection for the way things are – is his sweet sense of humor.
he doesn’t kill you with the gravity if it all – just lights up your day – with the iconic sense of a world gone to ruin !! the SKEWVILLE street tags – exhibit the same sense of social commentary.
