sabrinamariI saw several framed mixed media canvases today. They were made from an interesting mix of cut out images and background paint. I liked them. They felt ethereal, a bit odd and a little Steampunk.
Then I noticed the artist's statement and I had to stop myself from laughing out loud---in a sympathetic way, not a mean way. This is what it said:
"Creating visionary mood scapes, (artist name) leads us into realms of intriguing complexity and transcendent light. Each then becomes an invitation to ones own unique imagination to explore subjective perception. The work is then a window opening onto emotion in a wordless language of iconography."
I sounded just like this a good two years into graduate school, and I didn't fully recover until much later. My brother sounded even worse. I suspect that it may be a slow recovery for this artist as well. One canvas was called "Waiting for Bus #9".
Maybe we all have to go through phases like this.
