WK INTERACT
“Artists appropriate their surroundings,” says WK, who was born in France but has lived in New York for over 15 years. ”Van Gogh had the peasants who lived in his village and the flowers in the garden outside the mental hospital where he stayed. For me, it’s New York and everything about it that surrounds me – the nonstop energy, the movement, the grit, the noise. People love to put stories on top of art, to make it about something grand, but it’s very simple. It’s about an artist and a place.”
