Artist Statement for D. Lammie Hanson
|
|
|
My approach to most of the work I create is a cross between socio-psychology experiment and storytelling. Either way it is basic human interaction. All artwork has a story to tell. Everyone has a story to tell no matter what race, creed or color. It is becomes basic communication.
As an artist and a musician, I am inspired by people and circumstances. The figures I paint have inspired me through there simple nature and yet they have something to say. I paint women to broadcast to the world their passionate and sensual nature. Men who are stoic become pliable through dance. Children become little people in small bodies. Black people learn to laugh at themselves through things like their hair issues or faux skin color issues. I like to use primary colors like blues and reds to convey the vibrance of everyday life and what it means to celebrate life.
In my ideal world through my storytelling within my artwork, our prejudices and insecurities become unfounded by a belief in self, a respect for self and a love for self. In my ideal world, if you can accomplish that then you can believe, respect and love others.
