Rich Stremme’s visit instilled the idea that there is an art form for everyone and that art is truly all about perspective. From seeing the art Stremme created on posters and record labels to hearing about the subway graffiti stories, we were able to see how art had played a large role in Rich’s life. It was really cool to hear about the thrill and thought that went behind creating graffiti without getting caught, all the while creating an intriguing form of art. It was also interesting to hear from Rich that now is the time that these street artists and graffiti artists can flourish as they aren’t the top priorities for authorities currently. Although Rich started out more of an assistant to Revs for his street art, it was really interesting to see how that would all evolve and to see his inclusion of art as a rock and roll artist in his records and album covers as well as posters. Additionally, even though graffiti is a frowned upon and frankly illegal, unless it is commissioned street art, it was cool to hear about the network of creators and community associated with it.  Another idea that I found interesting was Revs deciding to paint his life’s story in the subway instead of anywhere else- a place where perhaps barely anyone would see it. This was a stark contrast to what we’ve discussed and read about because often times, people wanted to display their art for everyone to see and perhaps often times earn a commission as well. However, in this case, Revs did not want just anyone to see his work nor did he earn commission for his work. All in all, meeting Rich was a great experience and has given me a different perspective on art.
