CONCEPT ART, means to me, that the creation of the artist is a concept or idea of a particular situation, place, happening ,etc. manifesting itself in a way others may understand and even relate to themselves.

This is a lot like walking into the head of the artist.

ONCE YOU ARE IN THAT HEAD SOMETIMES what you are seeing needs to be explained. Especially by the owner of that head.

{I am sure every artist suffers when hearing someone else describe what they think the artist is “saying”.

I paint ideas.

Here is an explanation of my painting EMANCIPATION.

This painting is really in two parts…before and after.

Check it out on my web site for a closer look. ( 35″ x  12″  Acrylic on canvas )

Here is a sculpture portraying the feeling one has when s/he is trapped in a world of sameness. Blending into the environment almost to the point of oblivion where there is only the collective consciousness motivating one.

This atmosphere of conflicting opinions, viewpoints and  complaints were constantly bombarding his very being. If there was only a way to burst out of the mire of shared angst and quietly think things through a bit.

THE FIRST PAINTING shows this concept after the sculpture has mightily and successfully removed himself from that dilemma.

THE SECOND PAINTING shows the concept of the sculpture in an atmosphere of peace and calm where there is space to stretch, think and act from his own individual understanding. It is free to find and listen to his own ideas. This freedom to think also requires the right time and place to do it.

Now, what he does with those ideas would be another painting.
