Greg ‘Craola’ Simkins – Where Am I? – Artist Interview

WOW x WOW  interviews CRAOLA to discuss his new body of artwork for his WHERE AM I solo exhibit opening this weekend at KP Projects.

WOW x WOW: You have an upcoming solo show entitled ‘Where Am I?’ opening at Merry Karnowsky Gallery on May 23rd. Can you give us a little insight into the ideas and themes you’re exploring in the new work for this exhibit?

CRAOLA: My main focus when beginning this show was to flesh out the world I call ‘The Outside’ some more. I wanted to involve some of the more absurd characters that exist there and include multiple story lines in each painting. There is a point during our lifetime when we lose our childhood excitement and curiosities, and become infected with the problems of adulthood. READ MORE...

Chopping Block: Greg "Craola" Simkins

New Interview by Prints on Wood

For most of us, childhood ends where peach fuzz sprouts into the first few chin-hairs or when "nap time" suddenly becomes a fond yet oh so distant memory.

This week, we got the chance to have him talk a bit about his. Read more...
