If you know anything about John Lurie – musician, actor, artist, among other things – you’ll probably be able to guess that
Painting with John isn’t really a show about painting. Lots of painting happens in it, sure, with the camera close in on every dab of watercolour Lurie applies to the fantastical flora and fauna of his surrealistic landscapes. But, as far as dialogue goes, painting, let alone teaching his audience how to paint, seems to be about the last thing on Lurie’s mind. Cut together every moment when he directly addresses the topic, and you’d struggle to make a 30-second clip, even allowing for Lurie’s generous way with a pause. On his own art: ‘I don’t really know what the fuck I’m doing. I’m just stubborn.’ On the rest of us: ‘Bob Ross was wrong. Everybody can’t paint. It’s not true.’ Five episodes later, ‘You should try this.’
“Bob Ross was wrong. Everybody can’t paint,” Lurie deadpans.ADVERTISING
Lurie’s new show,
Painting With John a title that pays homage to his farcical early ’90s nature show
Fishing With John, in which he and celebrity guests grappled with the great outdoors swaps out Bob Ross’s sincerity to advance more irreverent lessons. Lurie’s take on how to live a creative life emphasizes leaning into anything that gives one a childlike sense of wonder, from the humorous to the mischievous.
Speaking to Artnet News, Lurie confesses that he is not actually the “anti-Bob Ross” that the trailer makes him out to be. “I appreciate what he did very much. But I couldn’t resist the idea of poking fun at him for a moment,” Lurie says. “I never thought his trees looked particularly happy.”
