The Artist
According to Rolling Stone Magazine, artist Steve Keene is your favorite band’s favorite painter, and is the Picasso of music fanatics. In the early 1990’s, Steve DJ’d at WTJU radio in Charlottesville, surrounded by incredible music and 1000’s of albums, and so it began. Steve now lives in New York, and still creates art daily. To date he has sold over 300,000 paintings.
The Painting
Thomas Jefferson “Not For Resale” is one of many paintings of presidents. In addition to music, Keene was also inspired by Charlottesville history, which of course included TJ. He often used words on his art to “soften the blow for people to look at art. They actually try to figure it out, does it mean something?” The words “Not for Resale”, is a perfect phrase to spark conversation in the unique times we live in!
