KunstlerCast#11: Picturing Suburbia

When James Howard Kunstler isn't railing against suburban sprawl, he's painting it. Vincent van Gogh painted the peasant sleeping by the haystack because he was living in a landscape populated by people. Our landscape is populated by cars. So, as a sur la motif painter of our time, Jim's subjects include cars on the road, gas stations and the industrial ruins of America's manufacturing past. Making this landscape legible on the canvas is a challenge, but it's also dangerous!  An angry manager once told Jim that painting the Burger King is not allowed.

I am also an artist exploring suburban settings in my work.  I tend to focus more on housing than roads, but both make frequent appearances in my works:

Nathan Abels, “Parking Lot”, 36×96?, Acrylic on Panel

Hey Nathan.  You got some kick-ass art there on your site.  Love the work you are doing.  Can I purchase a print or canvas via the web?
