Artist Statement for Solomon Kane
|
|
|
The name I paint under is a tribute to Soren Kierkegaard, the father of existentialism, and a fellow Texan, Robert E. Howard. Kierkegaard spoke out against hypocrisy and falseness in religion and life, while also trying to awaken the mind to an understanding of the divine. This was and is a noble, but ironic endeavor. As futile as this might sound, I find myself trying to do the same.
Abraham Joshua Heschel stated that, "There must be something to be expressed, an emotion, a vision, an end which produces the need for expressing it." He also wrote that all creative thinking comes from an encounter with the unknown and only that artist who has nothing to say will boast about his own need for self expression. Art is more than the vanity and superficial hype that is usually found in the current art world.
