"My idea has been to represent Johnny Pinocchio
as a character who has given up his innocence killing Jiminy Cricket
with his newly embraced lies in the transition from child to adult...
.jpg)
Someone said
that "the artist lies to tell the truth".
A character with canvas -
head showing Pinocchio
maybe can only have as a nose that brush with which to
paint his lies.
In this way the work has a double reading from the perspective
of the art world.
Are his lies a perversion of innocence or a trick to the
survival of that?

In his chest
you can read "Lie Young", a play on words referring to the famous
phrase
"Die young and leave a beautiful corpse" (Die young and stay
pretty).
In this case we could say "lie young and keeps correct
appearances."

LIE YOUNG BABY!
The Art is
worked with spray paint and acrylic paint applied
with both brush and airbrush
and pen details.
