Rene Farkass Los Angeles, CA Age 61
What keeps you excited in the studio? Another chance to complete my ideas.
Looking back at your trajectory as an artist, how would you say your work has developed? Sardonically, in a humorous vein.
What role do you think the artist has in today’s society? Not enough of one, when everybody is an artist.
What’s the most important advice you could give to an aspiring artist? Persevere, and have fun.
Does age matter in art? Why or why not? When you look at a work of art, it really doesn’t. When you start asking questions about it, it does, maybe.
What can we look forward to from you next? A lawsuit (laughs). A phone number…?
Is there anything else you would like to share about being an artist later in life? It just gets sweeter. Being an artist is really just a joy.
