About this artwork
Creating this piece, I merged nostalgic childhood imagery of Pacman abstracted with vibrant ready-made turntable elements and fast-food art. The assemblage of reclaimed objects echoes the continuity of joy and music, one feels from art, or youth, or doing OLD things.

« I feel it is important not only to be aware of other artists work, past and present, but to be open to many things, to see ideas even if they make you feel uncomfortable. »
Paul Leibow is an experienced American painter whose works have been exhibited throughout the US. He grew up with a father for an artist and a mother who enrolled him in local art classes as early as the age of 5, starting his artistic exploration young. After being classically trained in painting and drawing, Leibow started to find his voice and style using bold graphics and abstracting invented vintage characters. He experiments with mixed media contextualizing critical issues from the public citizenry and the roots of pop media with social interaction.
A documentary art film he co-directed was selected for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His work is in several art books and exhibitions selected by curators from the Whitney Museum and Met, he has also worked with recording artist Bruce Springsteen creating art for his world tour. Leibow is setting up his biggest exhibition to date, a solo show at the Monmouth Museum with an opening on August 2nd, 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm.
