“At age six,” Mark Kostabi declares, “I instantly got a lot of positive feedback for my drawings of dinosaurs and computers. It was then that I felt that art was my calling and my career.”
Galleries were looking for canvases rather than drawings and Kostabi switched gears and began to succeed with his. “The Kostabi World phenomenon began in 1985,” he says. “In the 80s, my work would comment on relationships”, he explains. “I was commenting on humanity. My work dealt with alienation, loneliness, technology, corporate greed. Now, I still explore those themes, but I’ve added more, like commentary on art history, romance, and illogical surrealism. I feel that I’ve become more complex in the grand scheme of things, and my work has become more positive.”
Recently, on Halloween, the Chelsea headquarters of Kostabi World featured a chamber music concert that was presented as a battle of the composers, pitting the compositions of Pritsker against those of Charles Coleman, but also featuring the same piece by Kostabi, “Springfield Cat,” in different arrangements created by the two.
