If you’re in the Bay and haven’t, unlike some other preoccupied morons who also happen to write this blog, made other plans tonight, there’s absolutely no excuse for not going to this show. I mean fuck, look at this video. I need some of what this guy’s on. Catch the british bleeps of Underworld tonight at the Fox in Oakland.
Open to Interpretation
Ask painter Raymond Saunders anything about his life and he’ll give you rambling answers brimming with asides and anecdotes. He’ll talk freely about his childhood in Pittsburgh or attending the famed Carnegie Institute. He’ll gladly divulge details of his travels through Paris, Tokyo and Berlin, or his relationship to painter Jean-Michel Basquiat. But when the conversation turns to the meat and potatoes: the meaning of his work and the ideas behind them, there’s only a smile and some vague musing before the declaration: “I just paint.”
