ANONTATION

I want to convey the importance of  personal connections in my painting . Throughout my painting practice I have been concerned with representing a sincerity within my work in rendering these through painting. They're a symbol, a signifier of an identity, a mark, a sign, or word that indicates or is understood as representing an idea, object, or relationship. Symbols allow people to go beyond what is known or seen by creating links between otherwise opposed and unrelated concepts and experiences. The painters i chose show remarkable consistency through out their art practice and in many ways their work is a reflection of their immediate lives. Morandi says about his work; As he himself put it, ‘I’m a painter of the kind of... composition that communicates a sense of tranquility and privacy, moods which I have always valued above all."  I admire the humility of his values and how he they are reflected in his work. I Also chose two personal segments to post. My Mother being interviewed about her approach to cooking and growing food, and the film Pinocchio. My Mother placing the importance of a genuine personal connection to what you create and Pinocchio a symbol of true nature, material self and real self. He then transform into real boy after going through many trails. He is in some sense my alter ego. 

For me the discovery of theory is through the act of painting. Painting is the material I use to discover and explore the ideas. My work is a visual language of collected attitudes and ideologies. My challenge as a painter is finding and establishing my position within these ideas. I feel that the ‘art world’ is full of so much academic gibberish language and concept, through my practice I am trying to rid of that. I can go down a rabbit hole deep into the darkness and bring up enough so as to keep it simple and tangible for mostly me more so than the viewer.
