Interview with Toly Kouroumalis
Published August 16, 2004
Toly: Those are passages from a script I wrote, it's more of a poster for a script I wrote. So it has something to do with the script that I wrote, it has to do with a guy who gets married into the mob, and he has a mistress, she's a crack whore and he's sort of a dealer so tiger outcalls, which is basically a prostitute. The reason why there is mixed media is because it is a mixed media film, that's the way that I'm seeing it any way.
Chris: What do you expect the audience to gain from viewing your art?
Toly: What do I expect them to gain? Some cool pieces of art work.
Chris: Any insight? any thoughts that you are trying to direct the viewer to, any certain ideas?
Toly: No it's just like, direct the viewer in terms of... no not at all, it wasn't even conscious.
Chris: So when you were painting you were just saying this is me, grab the brush and markers and that's it, I'm not contemplating anything beyond.
Toly: No I wasn't thinking about what people would think, I did the paintings for me, first thing and for most; cause I needed to do them, and if I could make a few people smile or sneer, then I'll do it.
Chris: You're getting a lot of reactions.
Toly: Cool, thanks
Chris: No problem, thank you very much.
