Hi, Diego-san, I did not know that you're in Heaven now. I am listening to your beautiful, tender voice on TH-cam. I should have met you before you left this world. Thank you for inviting events in NY since I met you at KAI restaurant by ITO EN on Madison. I play the piano sometimes remembering your tenderness. Tears in Heaven.
When I first met Samo he was very young and homeless, Lower East Side Artist. I recall smoking joints, followed by a very deep conversations in my parked car and me saying to him, "You are sure to hit it big!" I whispered that into his ear when we hugged at his big show at the Whitney Biennial. At the start, It was obvious to everyone he had the magic. That dude really worked it hard, Constantly Creating Original Art. He was a very possessed, Artist Exploding... When we first met he was painting T-shirts, selling them on the street, then SNAP Whitney show and then a big loft in the heart of SoHo. The last time the two of us hung out togeather was in his BIG loft - LOTS OF ART EVERYWHERE and many Talked for hours about poetry-art-the sounds of letters. The last thing I said to Samo as I was leaving his loft was, "Dude, I lov U He smiled.
Basquait created art as an emancipated man. He knew he was the art and that to me is what makes his body of work so undeniable and relevant. It speaks to everyone the schooled and the not because it dares go beyond context of culture to what a person knows about themself. That energy is in the line. That line Is a live wire.
