Art quote for the week!

“For instance, if you get Morrissey singing a song about a girlfriend leaving him, everybody will buy the record; whereas if you get a guy at a party talking about his girlfriend leaving him, nobody wants to talk to him. That’s the difference between art and life. You can frighten people with death or an idea of their own mortality, or it can actually give them vigour, and they can go away and appreciate their lives more.”

Damien Hirst

Last week some of my artwork was used for a future episode of the television show Royal Pains (USA Network). I will announce the details and dates ASAP!
Here is the show’s synopsis:
“USA Network is proud to introduce the Hamptons’ newest doctor-on-demand, Hank Lawson (Mark Feuerstein), in Royal Pains. Hank is a rising star in the New York City medical community, until he loses everything fighting for the life of a patient. With his career stalled and his personal life in shambles, Hank is in need of a new beginning. That’s where his younger brother Evan (Paulo Costanzo) steps in. Fed up with Hank’s personal pity-party, he convinces Hank to join him on a last-minute trip to the Hamptons for Memorial Day weekend. When the brothers crash a party at the home of a Hamptons billionaire and a guest falls critically ill, Hank saves the day. His dramatic medical rescue draws attention from the crowd, and soon Hank’s phone starts ringing off the hook with patients demanding house calls. Inadvertently, Hank has become the hot new “concierge doctor” in town. Though Hank is initially reluctant to embrace this new career, with encouragement from Evan and an ambitious young woman who volunteers to be his physician assistant he decides to stay in town for the summer. Once again solving medical crises and helping those in need, Hank is back to doing what he does best. And now he’s reinvented himself as the Hamptons’ hottest new doctor-in-demand. Also starring Reshma Shetty and Jill Flint with Christine Ebersole and Campbell Scott.”
