Come out and visit our artist-in-residents for #OpenStudios tomorrow, Saturday Jan 25, 2-4pm. Staying through February, #Vyt resident Cameron says, “Duchamps introduction of his ‘fountain’ to the Art World was like the Spanish introduction of small pox to the New World. The advent of non-representational art has done for painting what the chainsaw has done for the rainforest. Thousands of years of development flattened overnight. Art is all about speed now, like the bullet that pierced Chris Burdens arm in 1971. As a young painter interested in rendering faces, hands and believable space there are times when I feel like a member of an endangered tribe. This is the correlation that draws me to the indigenous groups of Amazonia. Their legacy is in jeopardy and so is that of Rembrandt and Rubens. Slash and burn painting is clear-cutting the creativity of the next generation. The choice is ours as both artists and citizens of a hungry planet to either create or destroy. Im from Baltimore Maryland and I dont like abstract art.” See more of his work here: cameronshojaei.blogspot/.
