Artist Statement
Art is important to
culture because it is a way of illustrating traditions and moments in time.
Paintings and sculptures have ways of freezing moments and giving the viewer a
glimpse into that period of time. Artist can use their works to express not
only their individuality, but the integrity and flaws within a society. Art can
be found in any different form with any different material and it is up to the
artist to choose how to express it. Depending on the artist's surroundings they
can take from the environment and the experiences around them.
When I first began learning about other artist I always
leaned towards Renaissance artists. I have always liked the way they could be
soft with some features and then harsh with others. Leonardo da Vinci in
particular is one of my favorites because not only was he an artist, but he was
an inventor as well. I have always been more interested in art that came before
the modern art era, but lately I have been expanding my artistic horizon. After
doing a presentation on the artist Eva Hesse I have become very interested in
her work. The materials that she used were very uncommon for her time and I
like when unusual materials are found in art pieces. I like the way she uses a
curve in most of her work and the way her pieces have a lightness to them. Her
use of textures made her pieces have more depth than they appeared to have.
I have personally always been interested in things that
have effects on our brains. I like to read articles and books about disorders
of the brain because they can show you another view of the world through
someone else's eyes. History, religion, and culture are other things I like to
read about. All three of these categories have shaped our world into where we
are living today and how we got to this point in our lives.
In the future I want to expand from my comfort zone with
art. I want to explore different materials that I would normally not even think
to use. I would like to create sculptures using materials like wood or natural
materials from outside. I would be interested in doing something with clothing.
Until this semester I was never really into computer art and now that I have
experienced it I want to continue with it.
