Soto Says...



Jeff Soto was on a panel as part of an event at the Riverside Art Museum tonight. He had a lot of interesting things to say. At one point, the topic turned to web sites and blogs. The quote below is from Jeff's blog, and it offers a concise opinion about the evolution of the alternative art scene.

"When it comes to art, and in particular this “scene”, change is in the air. Can you feel it? What was once known collectively as “The Juxtapoz School” is splitting into several unique genres. In years past you would find “street” artists showing alongside “lowbrow” artists, showing alongside illustrators and somehow it was accepted and it worked- not so much these days. This genre, whatever it was, is beginning to branch outward into distinct art sub-movements (is that a word). Nothing wrong with that, I think it’s a good thing." - Jeff Soto
