For my eyes...

SAMO is an artist that inspires me to paint with passion for deep meaning. His insights of American pop culture and values helped me to understand my own biculturalism. This interview is amusing because the interviewer has difficulty understanding artwork that reflects our culture in unexpected ways. Basquiat's responses to his mundane questions expose the reporter's attitude toward experimental art forms. Sometimes, when the spectators do not understand unconventional artistic expressions, they tend to ridicule or dismiss it as elementary or irrelevant. The conversation gives a sense of how the general public may perceive and react like to innovation. What makes Jean Michel's work timeless is that it shows how we evolve as customers in the way we interact with products, but what makes us buy compulsively remains constant.
