Jeremy Flick’s art installation was made with colors directly from Shinola’s color guide.<\/p>\n

How long have you been a contemporary artist? Please describe your work\u2019s aesthetic.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Art has always been an aspect of my life, even as a child. When I was 8 years old, I would constantly doodle and sketch during class. My parents knew that I had to do well in school and not upset my teachers, but that I also loved art. As a compromise, my parents said that I could study painting if I promised to not draw during class. I am really grateful for having such a supportive family.<\/p>\n

My work has evolved over the years as I became more confident in finding my artistic voice. My work has moved towards adapting a very controlled, minimalist aesthetic. Most recently, I have been interested in investigating “color systems” derived from the imitation and representation of blown-up pixels of digital images. <\/p>\n

What inspires you to create? Where do you feel most inspired? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I make paintings out of the necessity to make them, to reflect how I see and experience the world. I am drawn to visual patterns, textures, and colors. I see the world around me in the context of painting. I have always been drawn to imagine how these elements can be manipulated or re-represented in a different way. <\/p>\n

Uptight (everything’s alright).<\/p>\n

Describe the art installation on display in our D.C. Store. What is it called and how did you create it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The art installation, “Uptight (everything\u2019s alright)”, is composed of 64 \u201cpixels\u201d of 11 isolated colors, which are repeated across six unique, hand-painted canvases to produce a singular installation. I wanted to use colors that both reflected and complimented the Shinola brand. My girlfriend had a great suggestion to use colors directly from Shinola’s color guide. <\/p>\n

While the immediate and overall effect of the work is graphic in nature, I am most interested in the subtle interaction of the colors, and how the elements of repetition and difference gesture towards the distinction between the mass-produced and the handmade. <\/p>\n

The title of the work references the 1966 Stevie Wonder song of the same name. The lyrics depict a “a poor man’s son(‘s)” appreciation for a rich girl’s seeing his true worth – it\u2019s not about being famous or wealthy, but about being authentic. The title is a nod to Shinola, to Detroit and to Motown. It is also a nice play off the painting, which can be characterized as controlled and “uptight,” but that too is “alright.”<\/p>\n

How does it feel to have your work featured in Shinola\u2019s D.C. store? <\/strong><\/p>\n

It is great to be aligned with a company that places so much value on artists, artisans, and on the quality of hand-made products. Thank you to Shinola and Washington Project for the Arts for making this opportunity possible to local Washington, D.C. artists, like myself.<\/p>\n
