My Favourite Paintings | George Clinton

My title is George Clinton, and I’m an artist. [MUSIC] “We wish the funk. Surrender the funk.” [PIANO MUSIC PLAYING] Proper now, the work that’s at the moment obtained me being attentive to it’s Lauren Halsey from South Central Los Angeles. 2018 is once I noticed it on the Hammer. [SLIDES CLICKING] She say her life was influenced by P-Funk. And her work is a takeoff from ‘Trombipulation,” one in every of our albums, theories that now we have, Cro-Nasal Sapiens, aliens from the previous and the long run, and Black folks. [SLIDES CLICKING] I’m studying that every one of that known as Afro-futurism these days. To me, it was simply funking round. And that, to me, is what obtained me into artwork within the first place — my very own album covers. I didn’t do them, however Pedro Bell and Overton Lloyd, guys that was doing the covers, it’s just like the backdrop for our tradition now. Lauren Halsey, she’s doing an actual good job of being that new face on the mission in South Central proper now. That’s actually obtained lots of people speaking. [MUSIC PLAYING]
