Obviously you’ve noticed the LOL symbol and the bright pop colors in this painting. I figured it summed up the personality of this show. It was a
fun show.

In March of ’06 I traveled to Chicago for the National Art Education Convention. I arrived a couple of days early in order to visit the art centers and museums. At the Chicago Cultural Center there was an exhibit called “Situation Comedy: Humor in Recent Art.” The show featured conceptual works, by a group of artists, which included paintings, pop art, videos, mixed media, sculptures, found objects and installations.

ReplyDeleteIt's always more fun to read what other folks see in my art.

Glad you appreciate it. Some people get pretty offended if you don't see what they see, y'know?
ReplyDeleteSince I have worked abstractly for so long I have gotten used to the fact that people will have different interpretations of my art. A cousin found a squirrel (top middle slightly to the right) in this painting “Connected Forms.” I told her that I had not intended to paint a squirrel. However, now when I look at the piece I see the squirrel she pointed out.
ReplyDeleteWhen I created this work, my intent was to suggest organic forms, but not to make them identifiable per se. Sometimes I still face the comments “what is it?” or “what is it supposed to be?” Now, if I had intended the works to be realistic, I would really be insulted. Anyway, I like hearing other interpretations. It’s kind of exciting to see what other people bring to my art.
