Artist Statement for Jonathan Stein
|
|
|
In the ebb and flow of our existence, we are confronted by great hindrances, as well as overwhelming moments of joy, which shape and define our character. It is my assertion that within each individual there lives and breathes a personal narrative that holds merit and deserves to be fully recognized. As a visual storyteller and conceptual artist, my life’s passion revolves around uncovering not only my own inherent story but the elaborate tales of those around me.
Classically trained in drawing, painting and sculpture, I have always sought to deviate and meander away from traditional means of representing the world around me. There are times I am visited by a superhighway of ideas that often race by too quickly to be seized, or I am confronted head-on by social injustices that bring upon an immediate need to respond creatively. These forces, this creative push, fuel the production of photographs, short film narratives and mixed media installations ranging in tone and varying in layered meaning. I stay open to influences and find my work reflects a multitude of subject matter, primarily gender, identity, social discourse, human rights, and the ever-present need for tolerance and social change.
My purpose as an artist and individual is propelled by an insatiable need to make a difference in this world for the good and to create artwork that can reach out and connect with audiences. Whatever the artistic medium, whatever the tools I may utilize, and whatever the lengths I must creatively push myself to realize my vision, this hunger is what serves as my foundation and allows me to claim the serious title of artist and visionary.
