About The Artwork

I've put letters and numbers in my paintings since I started painting. Sometimes prominent, sometimes almost hidden. I tend to think about these things after I do them. I had no 'reason' or explanation for them, but it occurs to me now that they are--more than symbolically, because they ARE symbols-- emblems of what we use in our attempts to understand our universe beyond appearance: language and mathematics--fragments of our woefully incomplete understanding of ourselves, of the universe we have come to inhabit--ever so briefly.

Born in Chicago, 1941, moved to Kansas City in 1951, came to Philadelphia in 1964 on a Vespa 150 motor scooter, and never left. I'm a visual artist, anarchist, poet, novelist and Street Medic. I write under the name, Jacob Russell. I find in Deleuze & Guttari's, A Thousand Plateaus, Capitalism and Schizophrenia, a confirmation in language and ideas, of what I do in my art. There are so many visual metaphors: rhizomes, captures, lines of flight...in one sense, all my work is about--asignifying ruptures. escape from the closed territories of capitalism and the search for a place where it's possible to imagine a new world.
