Stephon Dalencourt: Trash-core Absurdist.

"The whole purpose (and what I hope my purpose remains) is to make people THINK for themselves. My artwork doesn't quickly choose a side, it just gives you visual feedback and you have to sit with it. That’s why my art I feel belongs ideally in unusual places. I want my presence to be unavoidable in certain circles, I don’t want to be confined to a white wall or some stuffy permanent collection in a museum. (Maybe one or two pieces who am I kidding lol) but the vast majority is going to remain ACTIVE. I want people to look at my shit in Subways, alleys, airports, basement studios, underground youth spaces, fashion halls. Places that combine my audience with my message. Most of all I just want to continue making whatever the hell I want and not be bound by some pandering curator telling me what the current trend is so they can sell quick."
The above quoted text came from Stephon in a DM exchange shortly after I followed him on Instagram. There's nothing more pleasing than an artist who knows what they want and are attempting to achieve. Direct and to the point. To be honest there's nothing for me to say. I've made the introduction. Sit with his words and images. Follow him and you're welcome.
