AboutJames Pogo Lo Rubbio began BLURTING his ABNORMALITIES in upstate NY. Working with bristol & ink & an ocassional drop of color, he uses his dark sense of humour to make sense of his environment. Armed with an insatiable lust for culture & an overworked record player, he lays on his bed & creates. Mixing rhythmic backgrounds with words & images that sputter forth his observations on daily life with imagery that can be playful or subversive. He is well versed in art history & blends that knowledge with his "intense sloganeering" to bring about reaction in the viewer. Through self induced cases of vertigo and soon to be carpal tunnel....he saunters forth. CREATION NOT SEDATION!
He received his BA in Art History from SUNY New Paltz in 2003. James has had a solo show at Farfetched Gallery in Kingston, NY, 2004. He has also had several works published in the avant-poetry journal DAMN THE CAESARS! James also has a band, Armedalite Rifles, with whom he has released a bevy of homemade recordings over the years. He is an avid collector of vinyl records, books, and pencil sharpeners, a pastime which borders on insanity at times. |
