Jasper Johns
















Jasper Johns! I'd most like to emulate Jasper Johns out of, like, everyone. He is super experimental - his style and mediums change pretty drastically from time to time, and he has done painting, mixed media, print making, molds, etc. I think he is probably a part of the reason I have started layering paint semi-recently (which I feel has made my art more successful) because when I visited DC a few years ago I saw an exhibition of his art, and (obviously) really liked it, and I think it motivated me to experiment. I believe that his art is many times unsuccessful, but I admire his ability to experiment so freely and seemingly without inhibition, and when everything falls together well, his art is stunning.
