About the Painting:
The “Upstate” photographs are a complete right turn from Prince’s earliest flirtation with the role of the medium of photography here we have the artist using the camera to record directly what is in front of him in the ‘real’ world (albeit the specificity of the suburban region north of the city of New York) as opposed to the re-photography of the heavily mediated myth imagery from advertising like the “cowboys”, or the “celebrities publicity stills”.
