Echoz & Concept as Act wit Joint Muse Unfoldin a Creative Future

This is another work in a Long Series Of Artists and their Art, Local n Out of Town Artists, Administrative Folks of Museums and Arts Centers, Board Members of SAMA. Fellow Allied Artists in our little tribe.

A collection of my new Friends and Supporters as I learn how to be a Public Artist. Plus, I'm sure, others I'll meet along the way.

I view this collection as a future project to be seen on the walls of museums n art centers a few years from now.

This is my reconstruction of an analog artist using and engaging in the ancient Artistic medium of drawing into a 21st.-Century Digital Fractal Painting Visual.

Matthew Paquette

SEEING BEYOND: New York City in Cambria City

Bottle Works Arts on 3rd Ave.

October 14 – November 17, 2017

Marcia Annenberg • Marcene Glover • Carole Richard Kaufmann • Carolyn Monastra • Matthew Paquette

Five NYC based Artists each take a different approach to the theme of Seeing Beyond, sharing an intriguing array of insights, and thought provoking outlooks, executed in a range of medium, styles, and subject matter. These include emerging, to nationally awarded, established international artists.

 

Matthew Paquette:

Lower East Side

 

SEEING BEYOND: Matthew’s ink drawings conjure elements of the physical world, to let ourselves experience what might be, or what might be imagined. If you look at any one thing for a long enough time it will start to look like nonsense. Something simple like a shirt’s pleat or a tree branch can turn into a closed mouth or a long chitinous finger with the right amount of focus. Following this principle, a subject goes from a likeness to a misinterpretation to an alien construct only familiar to the artist.

“Wanting to illustrate this process quickly and with little tension, I use ink (my personal love for the medium does play into it too). Having to make the choice between careful, time expensive marks and quick unforgiving ones (both of which are indistinguishable once a piece is finished) allows me to work as automatically as the process in which I see my subject transforms it. At this point, if I’m able to focus intently enough there is little to no disconnect between what I see and what appears on the page.”
