WORKING AS “ARNE”

ARTIST STATEMENT

PAUL SANDBERG / ARNEINSTAGRAM ↗

My art is a cynical reaction to the branded business of corporate art. In essence, my life is my art.

How it manifests can be a poem or a painting; or how I dance, or what I do next. From sailing around the world to having children, philosophically, all is art.

I would describe my methods as eclectic. Playing on subjective emotive and intellectual themes that have inspired them. Whereby, my different styles, reflect different themes, different emotions on how I approach and analyze the world; to be able to conduct my life as an artist.

This is not a navel gaze but a method to balance my intellectual anarchism to the inconsistent hypocrisy of an immoral world restricted by political idealism, and as an enlightenment to alternative realities.

Sidewalk cruising to Maui
Dressed in the land of Izod
In us they trust for 2000 bucks
And the true word of God

For:

True sailors with sails of crystal
And enterprising keels
Save wings for men of golden hearts
And interesting ideals
