Artist Statement

A Portrait of Capitalism – June, 2012
Here we have
Charles Ponz
i Capitalism; he’s looking back at you with an empty gaze and very full pockets.
During the summer of 2011 I had an email exchange with the artist Aelhra around the time that his LIE series began. Through that conversation I was turned on to “The Creature from Jekyll Island” by G. Edward Griffin. It was also during that summer that the Occupy Movement began to take shape. While following its evolution on Facebook, I was introduced to commentary by Richard Wolff, an Economist with roots here in New England. I was struck by the perspective, sentiment and criticism of both men regarding modern Capitalism.
The economy is complex. I’m not an expert and don’t understand a lot of it. But what I do know is that I have is a gut feeling about it… and like many, it’s not a good one. My new serigraph titled “A Portrait of Capitalism” is an interpretation of that feeling. -WGBOYD
