#5 – Where Does Street Energy Meet Fine Art? | Jerome “Groovy Vandal” Chester

In this episode of The Truth in This Art, I reconnect with Jerome Chester, also known as The Groovy Vandal, for his second appearance on the podcast. A multidisciplinary artist known for his bold, colorful work, Jerome shares updates on his artistic journey, including his ongoing self-portrait series and his upcoming solo show. We discuss how his creative process has evolved, the challenges and joys of working as an artist, and his distinct approach to caricatures. Jerome also delves into the idea of world-building in art, reimagining everyday objects like stop signs with a unique twist. Join us as we explore the intersections of creativity, identity, and Baltimore's vibrant art scene.
