Artist Statement for Charlie Spear
|
|
|
- 3D-reconstructions and paintings comprise the works of Charles Spear. Forty-five plus years of art production and growth illustrate Spear's dedication of his artistic expression.
Artist Statement
As my work becomes more complex, it is becoming sinister, yet still playful, and unsuspecting. Each piece of work is built of scraps and discarded materials that I hope will ferment an emotional response in the mind-soul witness of them. When I start working on a piece I usually pick one simple image or artifact and place it in a frame with wire in a random-like fashion.From there I begin a series of associative connections coming from within arranging toys, home paraphenelia, and discarded papers giving them a new context and a new content. I include acrylic paint, oil pastel, pencil, varnish, and other mediums I choose to increase the visual components of my work . A learned freedom liberates the artistic accidents surrounding the ideas portrayed. These ideas are not about the images per se but interpretative manipulations through images. I create personal associative imagery, humorous and slightly dark.I invite the viewer to decipher the image symbols and the meaning behind the work, much like heiroglyphs and pictograms.
