Though the imagery in Woggon’s current exhibition is somewhat familiar, the use of just paintings is a departure for the artist, who has been recently exhibiting his large scale installations and using his creativity for planning art happenings and events. After ten years of party planning and master-minding elaborate exhibitions of large work, what is it like for Woggon to return to the humble sanctity of paintings? “I felt like a musician picking up the instrument after not doing it for awhile. Canvas has been a side project for years. Taking it on full time, it’s like I’m making up for lost time. It feels like I just stepped into a whole new world and I’m free,” said Woggon.

My Robot Ran Away with My Cherry in San Francisco is especially poignant for Woggon because this year Katy Keene celebrates her 60th birthday. Though his grandfather is not alive to help celebrate the milestone, Woggon is taking this opportunity to remember his grandfather through his art. After all, it was his grandfather’s first encouraging words and example as a living, breathing artist, that set Jerico down his current path. As Woggon said, “To be able to create your own vision, that’s it. My grandfather’s success and his passion and his connection to people: kids, fashion, drawing art. That ’s what I want to follow is the artistic dream.”
