The Downfall Of The “Painter Of Light”

“Art critics have long dismissed his work as a kitsch crime against aesthetics. But now the world has grown even more “unsympathetic and complex” for the artist, who describes himself as a devout Christian and has trademarked his ‘Painter of Light’ soubriquet. In court documents and other testimony, he has been accused of sexual harassment, fraudulent business practices and bizarre incidents of drunkenness including a habit of “ritual territory marking” that involves urinating in public places.”
