Walk around Williamsburg and you’ll see his hand colored drawings, wheat-pasted on walls. Each is deliberately placed and calls to you – or maybe makes a wisecrack about you after you walk by. The color palette ranges from exquisitely muted tones only seen on the eggs of the Araucana Hens to the colorful greens, yellows and reds commonly used on the illustrations of the fairy tale books of your childhood.
Pausing to take in his work one wonders about this world of fantasy. If you can hang out a bit more and take a closer look at the paintings you’ll discover wit and an acute commentary on world affairs that is personal, social, political, even philosophical.
Take a look at some of the recent history of QRST. We begin here between two views with the most recent find, a woman emerging from a mass of antlers. Above is a night time shot, below a daytime detail.
