Harmony Korine Explains the Connection Between His Writing, Art, & Films

Harmony Korine is primarily known for his films; but he’s been gaining notoriety in the art world through his paintings for several years now. With his new movie set to open on March 29, and a solo show up at New York’s Gagosian gallery through April 20, Vice took the opportunity to interview Korine about his art and how it relates to his film work.

That’s a whole other thing. With the art, it feels maybe slightly more precious in that I don’t make that much of it. I enjoy it just being like whatever it is, however it’s received, wherever it goes, I like the idea that paintings exist in all these places. I feel like it’s just another component of this idea of unified aesthetic. All the movies, the paintings, the writings are kind of interconnected. I mostly see it all as one thing anyway. I’m not really that ambitious. I’m happy just doing my thing and being left alone.

Head over to Vice to read the entire piece.
