Roadside Devotion

The Gospel According to the Highway

Four iconic tongues — each haloed in a different color, gold, grey, blush, and teal — stretch across a billboard on a flat midwestern highway. Grain silos and subdivision rooftops fill the background. The sky is the pale blue of a Tuesday in November. Nobody is stopping to look, but they should.

This is a painting about the way rock and roll became religion, and about the particular American landscape where that happened — the strip malls and the interstates and the billboards that promised something bigger than what was around them. It's funny and nostalgic and quietly epic.

Printed on premium canvas and hand-signed by the artist, each piece is part of a strictly limited edition of 50.
