Personal Conversations
The ideas that I am capturing on canvas have stemmed from conversations that
I have been having about a number of different things. In private
discussion, people tend to not fear how they are viewed and will actually
speak their mind on anything; I use the idea of personal discussion as a
vehicle to express ideas. Private exchange can go on for a while, even if
neither person is knowledgeable on a topic.Also in private talk, an argument or topic is not always portrayed
accurately. Instead, a person generally clings to the closest knowledge of a
subject, even if that knowledge is not correct. Generally a persons
knowledge, for a conversation our understanding of symbols given to us
during their life. I will be basing the ideas portrayed on dialogue I have
had with various persons on the phone, email, and face to face. I create
metaphors from the chat in the form of symbols or references to these
symbols. The symbols are taken directly from the exchange, and the
references used thus far depict Elvis marrying an alien and a shark, a
person watching TV , Immigration (immigrant the alien) , smallpox infected
Indians , and group mind ideals .I will be communicating this through blended brush strokes, incorporating
the edges of the painting, and various other sculptural elements. In this
series, I will also be using more of an object orientated approach with
painting, essentially sculpting instead of just painting, so as to make a
sculpture out of painting materials. I also depict these conversations
through charcoal on paper, mono print in which I handle these elements on a
two dimensional flat plane.The historical art reference I am associating a more object orientated view
with is Elizabeth Murray's extension on an object orientated painting with
content. However, she did not really underline her content, it was more
general to the pop art scene. My series will deal with an object
orientated view
and also underline my content. Hence, I will have a narrative where as the
other historical references using this approach took on more of a formal
approach.Where is the knowledge or importance to this theme of conversation for
culture? My metaphors are based on ideals that I found to come up in circles
of people. Through most of the issues I have addressed have a controversial
spin on them. The other point being that most people do not research the
ideas, they just take the media's word for it. I believe it is a valid point
that people do not even think about once in there life span, which is why I
address it.
