Artist Profile: Interview With Rory Dean

The inspiration for making paintings comes from anywhere and everywhere. I work from pre-existing images. Whether an image comes from the internet or the newspaper, if I find it compelling in some way I will appropriate it and attempt to make a painting with found imagery as the visual foundation. Admittedly, perhaps my artistic philosophy is somewhat akin to a pregnant teenager on Maury Povich announcing: “You don’t know me. I do what I want!” Although that is not entirely reflective of my artistic goals, it is a point of view that informs my everyday practice in regard to making paintings. I make what I want and worry about what it means when it’s finished.
