Artist Statement for Brad Bannister
|
|
|
The act of finding oneself creatively is an ongoing and developmental process. Finding the best way to create a visual experience of feeling is both the task and the reward of creative expression. Color, form, and texture are used to create this visual experience; hopefully seen and experienced by the viewer. If a painting is not inspiring, not mysterious, not sensual - then it is not enough. If a painting is impacting and intimate and freeing then it provides a valued experience, and is hence a valued object. Abstract painting, especially nonobjective expressive painting, is ironically most able to be experienced as an object in and of itself, not representing or depicting some other thing. It is experienced sensually, without other meaning, in the same way as excellent piano or exhilirating weather, nonetheless inspiring. - Brad Bannister
