| 关于此艺术家 |
Mike Geno grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and while studying at a local Penn State University campus, as a business major, discovered that he finally found he had a passion for something. After transferring to Tyler School of Art, life began. After graduating with a BFA from Tyler in 1995, he worked as a meat cutter in a wholesale and deliberated Graduate School for three years. Later, while earning his MFA at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, He discovered his love for teaching and need for play were interrelated and essential to his studio productivity. The sun shines, birds sing and one day perhaps a small side street will be named after him. |

Sock Monkey Portraits
2005 each portrait is 8x10 inches |
|
This series of portraits is based on the collection of sock monkeys belonging to my studio neighbor and friend, Elaine Golak. They're a series in progress.
I knew very little about sock monkeys but as I began searching for them, I discovered a whole subculture of wacky obsessive types that very much seemed familiar to me. Sock monkeys, unlike production-lined rubber duckys, are unique individuals with personality instilled by their creators - whether by chance, intention or lack of sewing skill.

Portrait Clocks
2005 varied- series of 7 so far |
|
This series of portrait/clocks is, in a way, a result of my admitted obsessive collecting of kitsch objects and cultural oddities. My most cherished discoveries are western-type items (such as clocks and other decorative objects) that have been manufactured in foreign factories, seemingly, without any sense of context for the designated market.
As clocks, these rendered cultural icons are put into the same scale as a kitsch objects one expects to find in a yard sale, dollar store or an ebay auction. |
