Suggested Art Criticism
My work is also about persistence. I work at it a lot. But there is nothing I’d rather do. I love it. You might go to a concert and if you are lucky enough to meet your favorite musician. You might say if I could do that I would do it all day. That thing you’re talking about…I have that thing. It is egged on and embraced by my com- puter and the inventions that have been made available to us. This is where you will find me. Deep inside the machine mining the gems. I don’t just work hi tech. I work with ancient materials like silk and canvas. The difference is that I use the most modern materials and equipment to handle them. One of the greatest things that happened for me was how the IPad untethered me. I could still spend all day with the computer, and be social at the same time. I spent my career behind a monitor. We didn’t have laptops until much later. the Ipad pro is a dream. I hope in sharing my work I can inspire each of you. I hope when you realize this show is the work of one person, then a few of you who also have a dream will realize it is possible. Every- one should have a dream, the hard part is fol- lowing it. In doing a show like this I give honor to those before me. Stephen Shooster Dec 4th 2024 ….
One of my favorite artists is Joseph Raffael. His work is very colorful artist. I have been watch- ing him for years. You will love his work. After a century of negation, it is time for af- firmation—time for Raffael’s paintings, time return to paradise with him. - distinguished critic Donald B. Kuspsit What Donald said is a bit over the top, and a bit art history geek obtuse, but he has the right idea. ... My work is also about beauty. I feel like an oys- ter scratching an inch resulting in a pearl. In doing so, I make pearls. I don’t challenge your sensibility about what is art. I accept it, and then keep hammering making more. It’s in my blood. I love doing it. The bottom line is that my work is a celebration of nature; Its colors and patterns. It is an exten- sion of The Art Nouveau Period and the Bau- haus. Mixing the ornate beauty of Art Nouveau with the production of industry. And because this is the year 2024, my work takes on a whole new character when you understand how it embraces the latest technology. For this reason I have invented a new art term called Chro- matic Fusionism. It stands for the technology of art mixed with the humanities. It embraces what artists are doing today and distinguishes it from the past.
