PREACHER

Beyond street art, PREACHER also practices canvas-based fine art in a contemporary folk/street art style and incorporates many advertising themes and techniques into his public works. The medium of choice for this muralist is wheat paste. For gallery-based work, mixed media and acrylic/aerosol are commonly used.

Known to use several types of paper (from wax blueprints, vintage music sheets, WWI journal entries, etc.) in his works, PREACHER experiments with the concepts of familiarity through realistic portraits and characters in combination with text. Though based in the “bible-belt” of the Southeast, PREACHER's plethora of work is not religiously charged. A visual dialogue is created in most of his works, drawing from themes of economics and commonly accompanied with aggressive sticker, moniker, and wheat pasting techniques.

From the artist: 

I have always had an issue with writing my name on things. The public domain is where I am most free to express myself. My thoughts are unconfined. My movements unrestricted. My work is designed top evoke feeling in the viewer. It is designed to breathe power and self-being into the viewers.

 

You can either find me painting in the field or in the privacy of my

home, painting on canvas. Although texture rarely varies, canvas

provides a platform for permanent and semi permanent work; not just temporary.

 

My current self-exploration has mainly been composed of acrylic paint, usually limited to black and white.  Aerosol, however, has been the backbone to my work for years. The combination of the two has allowed me to revisit my past and cross compare it with the present.
