Artist Statement for Ken Hillberry
|
|
|
In art and in life, dynamics of balance, integrity and tolerant interaction of all elements or
participants ought to be see, experienced and maintained. At the same time, the challenge of affecting this balance is creatively encountering all changes and adapt accordingly.
For some, the destination or pre-determined outcomes are sought more often than not.
Then there are some who savor the journey, thus witnessing and enjoying developments
along the way.
I fall into the latter category. It's like watching the film develop in a darkroom. the image takes form a little at a time right before my eyes.
As I continue to adapt various techniques and applications in my work, the continual
influence of contemporary masters of impressionism, cubism, and abstract expressionism
remain inherent. The creative process, for me, is void of pressure and timeless. The ability and practice and discipline are central in my approach.
As an artist, my creative intent is to engage a viewer in thought and emotion, as well as,
with their eyes. Using imagination, retrospect or model, my range of composition can be conceptual, perhaps impressionistic or abstract in application, but always developed to evoke an awareness and appreciation for the relative conditions in life experience and art form as
I incisively or playfully interpret my experiences along the way.
