I have difficulty saying I love any inanimate object. I could say I love an actual person who makes art, but if I don\u2019t know them, how do I know? I think I love Sri Whipple but maybe I just really like him. So I settled for admiration and influence in my own work: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raypettibon.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raymond Pettibon<\/a>.<br \/>\n\u201cGrowing up in the early 1980s I listened to punk rock, Black Flag and the Minutemen. Pettibon\u2019s drawings on their albums influenced my view of art and its role. The humor that ridiculed popular society through what might seem na\u00efve drawing is actually an aggressive stance taken on any subject: hard-edged, black and white, almost a comic book on real life and all its pathetic outcomes.<br \/>\n\u201cArt is as much about the experience and the statement as it is about a well-made pretty object in a frame. If art makes me laugh, I don\u2019t care how it makes you feel. Pettibon\u2019s art informed how I wanted to approach my own work, and the magnitude of the intellect in his work inspires me through intimidation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Fletcher Booth, an artist who lives in Salt Lake City and says he enjoys \u201chot rods, beer, Jayhawk basketball and, sometimes, art\u201d took time out from this busy schedule to tell us who he loves, or rather doesn\u2019t: \u201cLove is such a strong word.
