Artist Statement for Colleen Af Venable
|
|
|
Since December 2003 Colleen AF Venable has been deep into her first full conceptual project, THE STALKING AND MURDERING OF A CHILDHOOD GIRAFFE, where she is attempting to take nostalgic obsession well past a level of creepiness, complete with an "explosive" ending. After one year over 400 photographs have been created for this project which is expected to take an estimated five years for completion. The final result will be over 2,000 works of art. A sampling of images from this project can be seen in the final art pages of this portfolio.
Colleen was born 1980, in Walden, NY and currently resides in New York City. More about process than product, she thrives on experimentation is opposed to using negatives more than once. Her work plays with subtle fine art taboos: the smiling face, the intentional creation of kitsch, the use of nostalgic media such as markers, crayons, and tempera paint, all encapsulated in raw, spotted, imperfectly created images. Also a produced playwright, her obsession with words shows through often in her artwork.
