I just bought a book called “Truth Myth Extinction” by the Portland, Oregon artist Jesse Reno. I discovered his artwork a few years ago, and really enjoy all I’ve seen. I’m sure I’ll be getting some prints or paintings very soon, but in the mean time this book will serve very well.
Here is what Jesse Reno has to say about his work:
My style and technique is made up of quick expressed lines, smears of vibrant colors, and layer after layer of changing ideas and shapes. I identify myself and my work most closely with the outsider art brut movements. Outsider art is considered by its proponents to be the contemporary antidote to our over industrialized, complicated, stressful, and uncertain lives. it is probably best described as a new kind of primitivism, i seek naive art as a purer form of creation and expression.

I hope you look through his site, watch the video linked below, and enjoy yourselves.
