ESPO's Not So Love-ing Letter
Sunday November 22, 2009
Espo
In case you have yet to head over to check out ESPO's new show at White Walls, we urge you to do so soon. The guy is a genius. To reinforce this statement, check out this rant he recently composed. “If you want to get down with the Newest School, here’s what you do...”



Words from ESPO:

“We, the reprobates and affiliates at Studio Gangster, specialize in a new artform we are calling post-felonial art (some of us do prefer Ab-Ex-Recidivism). Some may scoff and say “You ain’t doing nothing but tagging up the walls” and you’d be right. But what your blinking dripping eye missed was the depth our doodles go to define our lives and how we live them. You ain’t seen graff this Tabasco since Lascaux, nor graff so ICE-AY since Pompei.

“If you want to get down with the Newest School, here’s what you do. Grab any writing implement, step up to a wall; tell the truth without hesitating. Step back and feel devastating. Laugh at the guy with the bucket of glue; ask him why he’s so stuck up.

“Now that we have formed this union of like-minded Post-Felonial Expressionists, we decide to build a pyramid, to point to the past we inherit from the Egyptians, and The Egyptian Lover, and to look toward the future we leave for The Creator, who will return to see how his experiment turned out. She will see the story of human achievement started with a pyramid of stone in Egypt and ended with a pyramid of tires in America. She’ll roll her all-seeing eye like she left the oven on too long.

“Dinosaurs gave mankind two great gifts – petroleum and extinction

“Best regards,
Your boy ESPO”

 

We love this guy and you should too. ESPO consistently keeps it real. Take a look at his latest works, now on display at San Francisco's White Walls Gallery here.
ESPO’s show will be on view through December 3rd, 2009 at White Walls in San Francisco.
