Zachary Keeting and Christopher Joy visit painter Jake Berthot's studio.
Berthot remarks: "I'm interested in painting. I'm not interested in theory. I'm not interested in historical possibilities. It simply doesn't interest me; and that's not a hostile stance, that's... a declaration of freedom... I choose to be free."
Jake Berthot: Artist Model, Angels Putti, Poetry Visual Prose, works on paper will be on view from July 5 - August 10, 2012 at Betty Cuningham Gallery, New York.
