Albert Shelton . . .
born 1979 / in Winston-Salem, North Carolina /
according to the all-knowing web, he’s been in NYC since 2003, receiving an MFA from PRATT in 2005.
see: CV / artdoxa
his CV is pretty interesting, especially to me, anyways – for those years of ‘samo-samo’ studio assistant work for some very famous artists, i.e. the two big K’s / KAWS & Koons.
a day job that can eat you alive, but pays the bills.
but, all the while, your own inner creative voice smolders with your own heart-felt / mind-sparked ambition.
yeah. we all know the feeling. of wanting to break-out . . with our own work, and, btw just the F . . . when ?!!
scan his IG posts / same is true here – he writes a nice diary.
the yearning, and burning / and one day . . yeah / my work is going to be – understood, and up on those (art fair) walls.
well, it’s definite about time, his time, to fly free . .
and set the record straight – on what’s . . . really, cutting edge.
I hope he takes off, and never looks back.
Be like water ?
Be like compressed passion – yearning to break out.
