Rick Doehring

Mad can mean crazy or angry, and I use it to mean both because I think a lot of people around the world are very angry with the way they are being governed, and the discourse which is necessary to address these problems has become increasingly uncivil and, at times, downright insane – e.g., journalists are not the enemy of the people. My abstract work expresses feelings I have about these ideas because I believe that it is part of an artist’s role to reflect, critique, and challenge society’s cultural norms and transgressions.
