Description

Will Armstrong is an artist and a musician. He believes that art and music are the great equalizers. This painting is a tribute to weekends picking out movies at Video Fan in Richmond, VA and all of the classic cars that still inspire a million different day dreams. The final line in Thelma and Louise before they soared off into the chasm, "Let's Put Some Distance", taken out of context is all about the movies and daydreams of our youths. . Will began this painting by laying down a collage of movie posters and one sheets and a price sheet from the Wall Street Journal; white washing and coffee staining the collage before starting the drawing and painting. Will creates his line work in pencil, before brushing in the final lifework in ink and acrylic. HIgh on the mountain is where I'll be I'm going down the road, where I'll be free -Deke Dickerson

Will Armstrong Art

Since 2002, Will Armstrong has spent ten to twenty weekends per year on the road; bouncing between gallery openings, festivals and his studio. He has steadily racked up over half a million miles on his vertebrae and on a rotating cast of trusted (though admittedly abused) vehicles through those years. The road holds countless stories and in his work, you will find them. Tales of out of the way honky-tonks, movie palaces, cheap motels and barrels of gas paid on questionable credit; stories of both roadside dives or majestic theaters and the musicians that crawl in and out. The real show sometimes taking place on the street. Where does music come from? Where does it go to be heard? Sometimes the artist takes a fragment of a lyric out of context and tells a new story to change or re-emphasize the meaning. Will’s work is the soundtrack to a road trip; songs and artists are embedded on the towns they made famous. Bo Diddley, Johnny Cash and Deke Dickerson are as much as an influence as Frank Miller and Heinrich Kley. The lines of the road have become indistinguishable from the lines of the pen; just as the subject from location. Will considers his work to be drawing, as each line is created by hand using a series of pens, and Chinese lettering quills. He works on a collage of vintage maps, show posters and sheet music. Every piece of ephemera incorporated into the work is part of the story telling process. Graphite, ink and acrylic might be used to finish the piece, ensuring that the artist's hands will never be clean.
