| 关于此艺术家 |
As an artist and former journalist, I've passed through many phases searching for one ideal medium to encompass both visual and semantic expression. That’s proven to be an elusive quest but my current works provide a fitting platform as I meander among the parallels and tangents of contemporary aesthetics.
Throughout my portfolio you will find intuitive reactions to what I've observed, works evolving from an amalgam of curiosity and compassion compiled throughout the years over three distinct continents. Some are my experiences, some the plight of others. Whether I'm working on a piece of art or a writing assignment, I strive to treat all subjects with the integrity they deserve even though it is my perspective which will inevitably surface.
I’m not overtly political yet many pieces encourage the reader to reconsider current social themes. They are not statements per se, rather open windows for discussion. I feel no impulse to slap the viewer in the face with my personal ideas. My approach is more subdued. I invite the viewer to consider the issues through its subtleties rather than aggresive barnstorming of the obvious.
One primary desire is to create works that truly represent OUR generation and connect with the viewer at levels beyond the mere technicalities of any particular medium or genre.

The Falling

From the Compromised Series - This series takes a broad look at modern society's pressures to be perfect based on external stereotypes (competitive men & women, corporate profiling, social networking and the glamour/fashion industry.)
The search for acceptable beauty / romance / love becomes entrapment, causing tension and despair rather than liberation or unbridled joy. As time passes, perceived goals change and become even more difficult to attain. |
