Record Breaking Art and Culture News – Will Billion Dollar Art Become The New Crypto?
The Cosmic “X” original painting titled “Warhol Naked” by American artist Jack Armstrong, may soon sell at $300 Million (USD). This will be big news in the art world, as it would set a new record for American art, breaking the current ‘Marilyn’ record.
Andy Warhol’s “Shot Sage Blue Marilyn“ painting is 1 of 5 silkscreen on linen paintings of film icon Marilyn Monroe. It was created in 1964 and originally sold in 1967 for only $5,000. Last year, the “Shot Sage Blue Marilyn” sold for $195 Million, making art the ultimate liquid asset in uncertain times. Jack Armstrong says “it is interesting that art is now completely financialized and a strategic part of every UHNW (Ultra-High Net Worth) portfolio.” The previous record for an American artwork was $110.5 million set in 2017 for the 1982 “Untitled” painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2022-05-09/andy-warhols-shot-sage-blue-marilyn-sets-new-auction-record
Armstrong recently declined a $200 Million offer for his Warhol Naked masterpiece, saying he understands it should bring a minimum of $300 Million in a private sale. The acrylic on canvas painting is his seminal work out of only 100 Cosmic X original art paintings created between 1999-2019. Andy Warhol made 32 Soup Cans that were originally priced at $100 dollars each, yet only 4 sold in a gallery sale. The current record for a soup-can painting is now $37.5 million.
Armstrong states, “I can appreciate that ‘Salvator Mundi’, attributed to Leonardo da Vinci and sold to Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia (in the world’s most prestigious auction house) holds the current record price of $450 million for a painting, yet there is still a dispute regarding its authenticity.” https://www.vulture.com/2017/11/leonardo-painting-sold-for-record-breaking-usd450-3-million.html
With banks becoming insolvent around the world, places to store portable wealth are becoming limited. You can’t carry a building with you and gold is heavy. Between Bitcoin and art, art is a physical asset you can transport at a moment’s notice. If the internet suddenly goes down, you can’t move crypto currency or digital assets, including NFT’s.
Sukharev continues, “In today’s art market, people want solid provenance and the rarest most ‘exclusive’ contemporary art. This is what will drive the market. This is why Armstrong’s Cosmic ‘X’ Art may break the billion dollar level, with a single painting as it’s rarity, style, provenance are unquestionable. With only 100 Paintings ever made by Armstrong and his DNA in every painting, there will never be an issue of authenticity with Cosmic X art.”
Armstrong says, “With over 3,300 hundred billionaires in the world, billion dollar paintings will become commonplace in the future. The most valuable paintings will deliver much higher returns than crypto, while art insiders achieve multi-billion dollar fortunes like early crypto investors.”
People will exhibit billion dollar paintings in homes and in private museums. A luxury billion dollar art investment will be shared with family and friends. Currently, rare art is the #1 portfolio hedge with ultra-high net worth clients. Family offices, Venture capital firms, hedge funds, corporations and top billionaires will adjust their portfolios to include the most iconic art.
Armstrong says, “Much has been written about Warhol the artist. Andy was very kind to people, even though he’s been viewed as avant-garde and socially connected to the world’s rich and famous. This painting captures the true ‘spirit’ of Andy, with its deep red color and bold signature in white. Warhol is an image Andy spent his life creating.”
Jack continues, “The Warhol Naked canvas is set to take its place at the top of the world’s most valuable art. The graffiti-like colors around the edges of ‘Warhol Naked’ and bubbling ripples of paint throughout the painting show the incredible energy just under the surface that Andy only revealed to his inner circle of friends. The magic of Warhol the Pop Art icon is symbolic in this painting, created just 13 years after Andy passed. It’s Andy at his deepest level, stripped of all his facade, wigs and humorous wit. It is Warhol Naked !”
Armstrong says, “There are only 27 original paintings left in my collection and “Warhol Naked” will be sold privately at the highest bid in July 2025. I expect its sale will top the list price of $300 Million Dollars.”
Jack Armstrong (2025: 50 Years in Art). When I came to NYC in 1979 it was Magic! Warhol, Basquiat, Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli & Michael Jackson became my friends.
When speaking with artist Jack Armstrong, his recollections of all the famous people he became friends with seems like a magical journey that became the essence of his Cosmic ‘X’ art. He met Warren Buffett, when he was still in his teens in Omaha, Nebraska. That was only the beginning. The two richest women of their time, Doris Duke and Alice Walton of Walmart Fame were early collectors of his paintings.
While living in NYC in the 1980’s, Freddy Mercury, David Bowie and Michael Jackson purchased his work and became friends. Luciano Pavarotti, Liza Minnelli and movie stars Steve McQueen, Burt Reynolds, Farrah Fawcett and Elizabeth Taylor were his pals. Jack met Andy Warhol, who was speaking with Ralph Lauren, Estee Lauder and Oscar de la Renta in Bloomingdale’s Flagship Store in NYC. As they say, the rest is history. All became his friends.
Armstrong recalls, “I took Basquiat to ‘Odeon’ Restaurant in 1980 for a lunch with Andy. He had previously spoken with Andy on the street at St. Mark’s Square (Lower East Side, NYC) but Andy didn’t remember him.
In 1982, Art Dealer Bruno Bischofberger officially introduced them as he was representing both artists in Europe. Andy then introduced me to his powerful NYC Dealer Leo Castelli. Two years later, I turned down a solo exhibition at Castelli Gallery.”
Jack Armstrong and Liza Minnelli
Dancing every night at Studio 54, Limelight, CBGB’s, The Mud Club and later Club Area, Palladium and the Tunnel, Armstrong understood that nothing but the newest and most pure form of art would stand the test of time. So in 1994, he repurchased his art, burned every painting and left NYC after living 15 amazing years there.
Resurfacing in Los Angeles in 1999, Jack created his first Cosmic ‘X’ painting, which he says: “Comes from the feeling of reconnecting with our ‘inner star power.’ This is our true lifepath if we’re left to discover a free – Cosmic Way of Life – that our own magic creates.” Jack Armstrong and the Magic of Cosmic X Art for Millionaire Collectors
Priscilla Presley with Jack Armstrong – Beverly Hills.
Jack states, “There are only 100 Cosmic ‘X’ Paintings in the world. In the future when I’m gone, they will each sell for $1 Billion dollars.”
He goes on to say: “All magic on earth is created by simply believing in yourself. I watched Basquiat paint his heart out. First doing graffiti and running from the police. Then painting with Andy and watching all the art fans chase them both. It was surreal. Basquiat’s record price is now $110 Million and Warhol’s is almost $200 Million.”
Jack’s currently creating a $200 Million Bugatti. It will be a “One Off’ Cosmic ‘X’ Art Car, for a head of State in the Middle East.
He calls it the “Armstrong Art Trifecta” and says “As I’ve already painted the most expensive Art Bicycle and Motorcycle in the world.”
Armstrong’s “Cosmic Firebird” painting, became the subject of his “Cosmic Firebird Ballet.” It was both the mascot and centerpiece for the ballet, held at The Rose Centre Theatre on April 2, 2011.
Cosmic Firebird – $120 Million
Armstrong says, “being related to Astronaut Neil Armstrong was destiny, as Cosmic ‘X’ Art also took me to distant world’s I’ve reconnected with.”
Armstrong states, “My Painting Space ‘X’ was created in 2002 and actually seen by Elon Musk before he named his company SpaceX. He later named Twitter ‘X’ and now calls his rockets ‘Starships’ – several years after he spoke to me about my Cosmic ‘Starship’ Motorcycle.”
Space ‘X’ – $220 Million
In closing, Jack Armstrong states, “It has been an amazing 50 Years in Art. A true Magical Experience. I feel honored to actually meet 7 US Presidents – Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Bush and Trump. In 2025, the last few original paintings in my ‘private’ collection will be offered for sale. The collectors who purchase them will be fortunate to own a Cosmic ‘X’ original, as there are only 100 in the world.”
Cosmic Harley – The Art Of The Motorcycle – World’s Most Expensive
In this article, I speak with international artist Jack Armstrong about his time in New York City, being friends with Andy Warhol and the magical essence of his Cosmic ‘X’ art. Jack Armstrong (2025: 50 Years in Art) (The Life of Luxury)
Also included, Armstrong features two legendary motorcycle artists: JohnBritten and AllenMillyard to a new generation that will appreciate their legacy.
Guggenheim Museum in New York ran a very successful art exhibition called The Art of the Motorcycle in 1998.
Britten Motorcycles
The Britten V1000 is a hand-built race motorcycle designed and built by John Britten and a group of friends in Christchurch, New Zealand, during the early 1990’s.
Britten Motorcycles were the brainchild of John Britten from New Zealand, where these astounding motorcycles were built. These incredible machines were hand-built by John & his team & why the Brittens look like ‘rolling’ art.
The never-seen-before engineering that went into the Britten V1000 earned it the name of the world’s most advanced motorcycle from Cycle World. It baffled major factories, who couldn’t understand how a handful of people in a small New Zealand workshop could out-smart teams of engineers with the financial resources of leading motorcycle manufacturers.
The Britten V1000 recorded 39 race victories and 12 further podiums between 1991 and 1999, as well as an impressive list of top speed records. In particular, 1993 was a special year for records, with the V1000 setting the fastest top speed at the Isle of Man TT, it took the New Zealand Grand Prix title, set the world record for the flying mile in the 1000cc and under category at 188.092 mph, the world record for the standing start 1/4 mile (1000cc and under) at 134.617 mph, the world record for the standing start mile (1000cc and under) at 213.512 mph, and the world standing start kilometer record (1000cc and under) at 186.245 mph.
It’s safe to say that the Britten V1000 will forever be one of the most iconic and innovative motorcycles ever built, with an equally iconic story behind how it came to the fore of motorcycling in the 1990s. John Britten truly was one of history’s motorcycling mavericks and it is a great shame that we would never get to see the true potential of his ideas. He died from cancer, aged 45, in 1995.
Turning a motorcycle into art includes the back story and the story is as much art as the motorcycle itself. Brittens now sell in excess of £1,000,000 each. Seven out of fourteen Brittens are on public display.

Allen Millyard artist
Allen Millyard is an artist, residing in this story alongside Andy Warhol & Jack Armstrong, The Guggenheim Museum & Britten Motorcycles. Millyard created rolling sculptures which are works of art and fully functioning motorcycles, that are wildly different from production models & shaped like prototypes.
In the early 1970’s Kawasaki brought out the H2, a two stroke 750cc three-cylinder motorcycle known as the “Widow Maker”. Allen decided he would make four and five-cylinder versions of this iconic classic motorcycle in the mid to late 1990s and that’s what started his incredible journey.
Since those early days, Allen has built a range of incredible machines which have earned him his own section of the Barber Motorcycle Museum in the United States. He built a Kawasaki Z900 and grafted another complete bank of cylinders onto it, creating a V8 1600cc machine. He accepted a challenge to build a Kawasaki Z1300 six-cylinder, increasing it to twelve cylinders and 2,300cc. That was more than a challenge, as the task was almost impossible, due to the engine design, but Allen didn’t let that stop him.
Since then, he has made six-cylinder Kawasaki Z900s, a four-cylinder liquid cooled two stroke Kawasaki with Yamaha liquid cooled barrels grafted on for a top end and numerous other machines. The way his creations ride is far more than the sum of their parts, which is surprising and enchanting in equal measure.

Jack Armstrong: Cosmic Artist
There are few artists with greater pull on the desire of art collectors than Jack Armstrong. He was friends with Andy Warhol, Jean Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring in the 1980s. He taught David Bowie, Freddy Mercury and Michael Jackson to paint abstract and created his own style, Cosmic ‘X’.
His art has become the most expensive art in the world by a living artist and is hunted down by the greatest heavy weight art collectors. Jack Armstrong created and painted his Cosmic Starship Harley-Davidson twenty years after a conversation that inspired the idea with Andy Warhol himself. You can read about it here, featured on WikiArt
Cosmic Extensionalism
Cosmic Extensionalism, or Cosmic X is a new and unique style of art created by Armstrong himself. What is Cosmic Extensionalism? How did Jack create this new way of expression? What does this have to do with motorcycles as art? Read on and have faith.
A phoenix rising from the ashes of his own work, Jack founded Cosmic Extensionalism, or Cosmic X in 1999. He vowed to create a new style of art in 1994 when he repurchased all of his NYC art and burned it. Cosmic X is a genre of modern art created by Jack, five years after he burned his previous works. He is the art while he creates it. It’s about the loss of self/ego. This is evident in all spirituality. Buddhism teaches us that everything is one and nothing simultaneously. In ancient Greece acting was a spiritual practice making actors revered at that time. The hyper real acting movement of The Method encourages the actor to transform into their character while playing the role.
The art and the artist are one. As such, the viewer/perceiver of that art becomes the art and the art becomes the viewer/perceiver of that art. This is not some “spiritual waffle” just look at The Observer Effect where the existence of things changes when they’re observed.
Armstrong’s DNA is present in every painting and object he creates. When you buy an Armstrong artwork, you are certainly also buying a piece of the artist himself. He leaves a piece of hair and fingerprints present in all of his paintings and works. This gives Cosmic X art the ultimate provenance as it makes his work impossible to forge, unlike many other famous forgeries of artwork, as you can see here. How a FedEx Box Exposed a Fake Basquiat Museum Collection
His Cosmic X series consists of only one hundred pieces and it’s a conversation with the universe. He is the antithesis of Warhol’s Factory – his work is a universal process, as he channels each brushstroke. Armstrong is in dialogue with the universe and it expresses itself through him and his work. Many great artists, actors, writers and musicians explain their work as getting the ego out of the way to channel something magical through themselves and this is clearly how Jack works.

Cosmic Harley swapped for a high value painting.
The Cosmic Harley was swapped for a high value painting by Jack himself. After the sale in 2012, Jack remained in contact with the owners of the Cosmic Harley. They had fallen in love with his artwork and were especially keen on a painting he called Star Key #733. The painting was a $50,000,000 piece and Jack was wanting to bring the Cosmic Starship home again. So he swapped the painting for his favorite sculpture and the prodigal artwork returned home to Jack Armstrong. The Mona Lisa of Motorcycles – 50 Million Dollar Art Trade Deal (The Life of Luxury)
I asked him why he swapped a $50,000,000 painting for the Cosmic Starship Harley-Davidson and he told me that “it’s the Mona Lisa of Motorcycles.” He felt for such an iconic motorcycle, known in countries all over the world, he wanted it to be on display in a private collection or to be seen by the public. The Cosmic Starship had the bodywork removed and had been languishing in a vault for ten years and Jack couldn’t bear it not being on display. He said, “How can the Mona Lisa of motorcycles not be displayed?”
Cosmic Star Key #733 – $50 Million
First Time Ever
Jack Armstrong is the first artist to have been involved in a two-year Digital Retrospective of his artwork on giant screens in Times Square NYC. It was shown every fifteen minutes, twenty-four hours a day between 2018 and 2020. Millions of people around the world viewed it.

Alice Walton (Walmart Heiress) owns two Armstrong pieces, valued at $50,000,000 each. There is no other artist alive who fires up art collectors like Jack Armstrong. Everything he touches attracts global collectors, who desire the world’s rarest modern art.

Unusual Media
No other artist has expressed themselves on such unusual media as – cowboy boots, the most valuable handbag on earth, a bicycle and the iconic Harley-Davidson V-Rod. These works are magical creations and are walking, cycling and “rolling thunder” works of art. These are among the rarest Jack Armstrong 3D objects with a purpose and not simply paintings, but true art as these objects become his canvas.
Jack’s work speaks to collectors and his personality clearly matches his work. He is currently ‘Celebrating his 50th Anniversary’ as an artist and digitally sharing his work as the world takes notice. Armstrong’s 100Cosmic X Paintings – become more valuable each year.

Most famous example of the motorcycle as art: Cosmic ‘Starship’ Harley.
Clearly, the Cosmic Starship Harley-Davidson is the most famous example of the motorcycle as art. This piece has been featured worldwide in many, many publications in South America, all over Europe, the USA and the Arab nations. The bike has been featured in The Life of Luxury. Jack Armstrong Cosmic X Triptych – The Next Big Art World Investment (The Life of Luxury)
Even Damien Hirst could not achieve anything close to the $3,000,000 that Jack Armstrong achieved in 2012, which makes this the most expensive example of the motorcycle as art. Armstrong’s tenacity to do business his way, without using art dealers or auction houses, only working directly with buyers …. seems to have paid off.
Armstrong is a brilliant self-publicist who always gravitates towards the least ignorable route to publicity, as you can see in this short video of his launching of the Cosmic Starship Harley-Davidson.
It assures the buyer that they are buying a genuine piece from the artist and he issues a certificate to prove the provenance. The motorcycle has been featured in the Dupont Registry Magazine and has recently been featured on the front cover of Ultimate Motorcycling. The 50-million V-Rod- Jack Armstrong’s Cosmic Starship Harley (Ultimate Motorcycling)
Warhol Connection:
The Warhol connection is well documented. Armstrong used to ride his Harley-Davidson around New York with Warhol on the back in the mid 1980s. During this time, Warhol was producing a lot of work featuring motorcycles. They seemed to be springing up at every opportunity, both in his work and consciousness. After a ride through the city, Warhol asked Jack what he was going to do and he replied, “I am going to create a Million Dollar Harley.” Warhol replied: “You’ll become the Last Wizard of Art”. Warhol’s words became one of Jacks most iconic paintings.
Only twenty odd years later did Jack bring that dream into reality by creating the Cosmic Starship custom Harley-Davidson motorcycle. It was always conceived as a space craft, something moving through the universe and it became his canvas. It’s as much a piece of art as his paintings, some of which sell for over $100,000,000. Except it is the only motorcycle he has ever painted. Warhol bestowed “The Last Wizard of Art” title on Jack Armstrong because he respected him and he sincerely respected Jack’s work.
Andy Warhol’s Soup Can and Jack Armstrong’s Harley-Davidson
This Harley-Davidson is Jack Armstrong’s Campbell’s soup can. It’s his canvas and his painting that rides and rolls. No other living artist has lit up the world with such a real and yet ethereal piece of work as the Cosmic Starship Harley. It is the realization and manifestation of a dream that came directly from a conversation with Andy Warhol himself.
As Freud said, “Only the realization of a childhood dream can bring happiness”. I’m sure Jack Armstrong doesn’t care whether the Cosmic Starship is a childhood or adult dream he realized. It’s the realization of a dream. Whoever owns this piece of Armstrong is buying the realization of a dream cooked up directly from a conversation between Andy Warhol and Jack Armstrong.
Armstrong sets his own values
Armstrong sets his own values for his paintings, as he doesn’t use dealers or exhibit as such. In 1984, he turned down the opportunity for a solo show of his works. It was offered to him by the renowned art dealer Leo Castelli, the most powerful art dealer in America.
Armstrong has always represented himself and set the values of his artwork. Setting his own values rather than being told what they’re worth, is entirely faithful to the Cosmic ‘X’ mindset. Jack Armstrong clearly dances to his own tune and trusts his work like no other living artist trusts their own work. Or is he trusting the universal presence he experiences when he works?
Armstrong is currently on the January 2025 cover of Elite Luxeliving Magazine (Dubai Edition)
What is Cosmic Extensionalism, or Cosmic X? It is a new style of art founded by Jack Armstrong in 1999 in Los Angeles.
Cosmic X is a genre of modern art styles, as are the famous genres of “Cubism” by Picasso or “Pop Art” by Andy Warhol. It was originally founded as an organic art movement and is singular by comparison. Cosmic X requires the artist to become the art itself. This requires a unique state of mind to be reached, connecting to a universal presence which Armstrong believes exists in each being. It is this connection which creates the art, not the artist.
His Cosmic Starship Harley-Davidson certainly represents the most expensive Harley-Davidson ever sold when it went for $3,000,000 in 2012. However, Jack’s art has seriously increased in value since then. This Harley is a rolling Jack Armstrong painting and is unique. There is nothing else like it in the world. Warhol never created a motorcycle – which could be setting record prices today. Jack Armstrong beat him to it, making him ”The Last Wizard of Art.”

Rolling Jack Armstrong Painting
The Cosmic Starship is a rolling Jack Armstrong painting and also a sculpture that rides. Jack opted to keep the Harley-Davidson V-Rod standard, because his work is enough. There is no other rolling Jack Armstrong motorcycle in the world.
If Warhol had painted a car that’s for sale, or a motorcycle, what value would they have today? Would either one sell for more than his $195 Million “Marilyn” painting? Warhol Auction – Marilyn Monroe (New York Times)
In closing, many believe that Armstrong’s ”Cosmic Starship Harley” will sell for more than $200 million in the near future. In the future, his ‘Warhol Naked‘ painting is destined to become the world’s first billion dollar artwork. Warhol Naked Will Sell for Record $300 Million (USA Art News)
In closing Jack Armstrong mentions his famous relative, astronaut Neil Amstrong and says, ‘Nothing is impossible when you communicate with the universe.”

Ultimate “Cosmic X” Art Synergy – Jack Armstrong & Jaime Carbo Collaboration
What happens when Jack Armstrong, the “Best Modern American Artist” collaborates with Jaime Carbo, the “Best Post Pop Artist in Mexico“?
Answer: The intense colors literally explode off the canvas! The combination of American artist Jack Armstrong & Mexican artist Jaime Carbo is a Cosmic X Post Pop Art synergy that can only be found in 2 modern paintings in the world.
With Armstrong’s art prices beginning at $10 million today, the unique collaboration with Jaime Carbo allows one to own an Armstrong “Cosmic X” painting for an amazing price. In addition, this will catapult Carbo’s own work into the million dollar plus level, per piece.
Jack Armstrong collaborated with his favorite modern painter in Mexico. He states, “Carbo is a modern Mexican Cosmic Art Master. His work is unlike any other and will be in museums worldwide, in the near future.”
Armstrong personally owns 19 paintings by Jaime Carbo. He conceived, commissioned and painted on two of them. Here is an overview of each painting:
1. The FAROS (Cosmic “Revolution”) painting by Carbo/Armstrong.
About 7 years ago, this painting was commissioned from Carbo by Armstrong for only $20K. Jack also painted the Cosmic X background on it. Plus, he signed the back in gold spray paint with his own fingerprints in the paint. It is the finest modern Mexican painting by any artist in the last 70 years, including Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, or Tamayo.
“Revolution” is a ‘Cosmic Mexican Masterpiece’ and signifies the revolutionary way the Mexican Culture is thriving in the 21st century. As a result, the country is becoming a powerhouse with some of the most ‘Revolutionary’ new art in the world.
It is Carbo’s largest and most extraordinary painting at 8 Ft X 4 Ft, acrylic on wood. The painting is museum quality for any “Post Pop Art” with Jack’s “COSMIC X” additions. It’s almost a surreal cosmic “POINTALISM” like George Seurat – https://masterpiecesociety.com/georges-seurat/
The Silver Shaman on the Cosmic X Universal Surfboard in the center of Revolution, signifies the intense Cosmic winds that arrive in Art & Life that create everything good in the world.
‘Faros’ is one of the oldest cigarettes in Mexico history. It is synonymous with “Revolution & Fire In the Mind & the Soul.” Therefore, Jack and Jaime Carbo used it to create a magical “natural” fiery revolution for “cosmic thinking” and cosmic Art. The painting is simply spectacular and the colors are quite stunning.
Jaime Carbo states, “The Revolution painting I think will one day be in one of Mexico City’s magnificent Modern Museo’s of Art, & if it somehow ends up opposite a Frida Kahlo, in the Museo Soumaya, founded by Carlos Slim, Mexico’s richest man, it would be in very good company.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museo_Soumaya (photo above)
Jack believes it’s the only major painting in the world featuring Faros, as a symbol of the modern spark of Revolution. Villa & Zapata are perfect metaphors for today’s demonstrations worldwide, as both were the major champions of the common people in Mexico.
No doubt, Carbo will become world re-known, when ‘Revolution’ is eventually exhibited in a museum. Now you can own it!
Price: $20 Million
—————————————————–
2. THE “COSMIC GIRL” painting by Carbo/Armstrong.
This painting was commissioned, co-painted and signed by Jack in gold paint on the back of the canvas. The painting is 40 x 40 inches and acrylic on canvas.
According to Jack, it reminds him of a cosmic “LICHTENSTEIN” painting, along with the “COSMIC X POINTALISM” backgrounds created by Jack.
“Cosmic Girl” is spectacular and jumps quite literally off of the canvas.
Price: $10 Million
—————————————————–
Jaime Carbo is very famous in Mexico. His many hand painted murals can be found all over Mexico. In fact, Carbo has created artwork for the government in Athens, Greece. Plus, he’s done statues in both China and Mexico.
Both of these stunning and creative paintings are deeply textured and colored. In fact, either would make the perfect addition to anyone’s art collection. As a result, the collaboration between Armstrong and Carbo on both paintings, make them extremely rare in the world of modern art.
You can read the interview with Jaime Carbo in “Art & Museum Magazine UK” – Autumn 2018 edition (pg 45-46). Both this article and the one below with Jack Armstrong, was written by Derek Cully. He discovered Damien Hirst and gave him his first two exhibitions in London. https://issuu.com/familyofficeelitemagazine/docs/am-autumn-18-single
Jack states, “I commissioned both works 7 years ago for my private collection and collaborated with Carbo on both paintings. I am proud to be associated with a modern master of motion, light, & cosmic energy. He understands that everything I believe in my “Cosmic X” Philosophy, he also believes, & incorporates into his magical work, with color exploding off his canvases.” https://www.thelifeofluxury.com/excitement-is-building-for-the-cosmic-x-book-by-jack-armstrong/
Jack continues, “In Mexican Art, he is at a level all his own, with no peers, in sight. He can only be explained as this centuries Tamayo.”
“The Last Wizard” label has now become the title of the upcoming movie about Jack’s life. It is scheduled to be released later this year. In addition, Armstrong created just 100 “Cosmic X” paintings and only less than 30 remain for sale.
Jack holds the world record for the most expensive motorcycle, cowboy boots and bicycle. The Harley Davidson Cosmic Starship motorcycle is now available ($30 million), as well as the Cosmic Cowboy Boots ($6 million). You can read additional articles on this site by searching for – “Jack Armstrong.”
