David Amico

I stumbled on David Amico's interview with Nancy Evans online, and I thought it deserved a separate post. David was one of the first artists I got to know in Los Angeles, he was teaching with John Millei at Claremont, a really great painter... he can really lay it down with a gentle authority. Big, strong, colorful, masterful... pop.... paintings. Like Andy Warhol Campbell Soup cans painted with Clifford Still's hand.

And Nancy Evans is a painter I've yet to meet, but I remember her stuff back in the Sue Spaid Gallery days: these murkey acrylic gelatinous blobs, anti aesthetic paintings... pretty memorable stuff.

David is funny. He's got this manner where he would begin lowering his volume as time went on, you would find yourself bent over, ear cupped as he got deeeeeeep into the topic.

Here you can get it full volume.
