| ARTIST STATEMENT AND BIO
RT Vegas...born Arthur Heinzinger-1958 in White Plains, New York.
The work of RT Vegas is complex yet simple. It can be classified in the outsider art genre, but contains many elements of art brut, graffiti, abstract, pop art and cartoon illustration. Vegas\' unique art is motivated by a curiosity in seeing a final product of work without knowing how it will start. \"I am always surprised in the end.\" There may be an initial spark of an idea but by the end, through free association, something totally different exists. He likes to use heavy cartoon-like lines around his subject matter and usually reserves his backgrounds as a free form abstract area pushing the attention back to the foreground. RT Vegas likes to create art that is symbolic, colorful, crude and fun.\"My art is what you make of it. Nothing more. I am not going to pretend to be something that I am not\". His subject matter includes cartoon figures, gods, monsters, tribal folk, animals, mythological beasts, alien creatures and \"open heads with things coming out\". In the end RT Vegas gets pleasure and satisfaction when a person he has never met before wants to own one of his works. \"All in all I try not to take myself too seriously. I’ve tried that before it didn\'t work. Enjoy your life... while you can.\"
