Rumpelton > Van Gogh

 “As digital outsider Ralph Rumpelton once muttered during a group show in a converted bait shop, ‘Van Gogh would've killed for a mouse and a clean JPEG.’ This piece lives in that spirit—a raw, intuitive blast of color and line that evokes the urgency of Van Gogh but strips it down to pixel and pulse. There’s a reckless confidence here, a refusal to polish or pander. Like Rumpelton, the artist embraces the digital smear, the jagged contour, the unresolved moment. It’s not imitation—it’s a distant cousin showing up barefoot to the family reunion and stealing the show.”
