The passion of young artists rarely needs coaxing to get out in the open. In his interview on Apartment 613 with graphic painter Dietrich Rosteck, Francois Levesque gets right to the point. And Rosteck doesn’t  disappoint.

Levesque also drills down on how the artist feels about reactions to his current show at Canteen Art Shop and Gallery, and Rosteck’s response, while not unique, is certainly refreshing: “I hope that at least one person walks away from the show thinking: “Hey, I can do this!”, or hell, even: “Hey, I can do this better!” (just don’t rub it in okay?). I mean that’s kind of how I got into it. I went to one show and figured I could do it to, which at first of course I couldn’t…”

Rosteck is still emerging, yet completely capable of producing passionate images on canvas. Read Levesque’s interview, and then check out the artist’s galleries on Deviant Art.
