John Dunivant is a painter and multimedia artist working out of Detroit, Michigan. One of his largest artistic accomplishments—Theatre Bizarre—violated an untold number of laws and gave attendants an immersive Halloween masquerade experience that was unrivaled anywhere in the world before being shut down by the city in 2010. To be blunt it is the Greatest Masquerade on Earth. To be honest it’s unlike anything else. Read on for the 1xRUN Thru with John Dunivant discussing his latest print “The Fools” which drops 4/3 at 12pm EST.
John Dunivant: The Twins were among the first inhabitants of that world. They came about around 10 years ago, during the early years. She represents the beauty in danger, amongst other things. She and the 4-legged woman, on the Fool card, embody physical desires in some ways as well, through the literal act of adding more body parts. The little pumpkin guys have been appearing in my work for a long time. They are mischievous little delinquents.
1xRun: Why should people buy this piece/print?
John Dunivant: It’ll give you special powers!
1xRun: Describe the piece/print in one gut reaction word.
