SDED-BlackStar, 2021
Canvas on cardboard, and plastic cone, 5.25 inch side octagon,
12.5 x 12.5 x 4 inch (32 x 32 x 5 cm)
It happened, it finally happened! I have gathered enough energy since April of last year to post an image of another art piece. I love sharing my artistic creations with the world, but I lost my ardor to strive for acceptance from the art community, therefore there were only a few posts on my IG accounts and a lot of breaks.
Once again, the middle road between Fontana and Bonalumi appears to be the right call to escape the two dimensional plane. Bonalumi got it right and sculpted the 2-D surface that would eventually redefine the notion of color (-field) bas-relief (3-D). On the other hand, Fontana cleverly ripped the two dimensional space in order to allow another (virtual) dimension to be born. The beauty is that combining the two surface approaches enables a more realistic step between the two and three dimensions making the impossible (2.5-D) look, at least on an intellectual level, more realistic.
My (black) SDED-Octagon has a Bonalumi-like element that was passed through a Fontana-like space. I was always intrigued by compositions holding the same color, white on white, black on black, etc., and my octagon is exploring this never easy, simple yet rich monochrome combination.

These items as the vast majority of ceramics start as bisque. Bisque is fired greenware which is created by pouring the slip (the ceramic mixture) into a mold and let stand for a set period of time depending on the consistency of the mix. This specific item was left to rest longer and the additional weight is extremely noticeable. This piece was then cleaned and prepared for painting as normal. This particular mold was painted with acrylic paints and is less than 12” tall. There are numerous varieties of glitter paints and chalks used to complete this project.

This is number two in a series of 10 "Conglomerates." I was thinking of my love for fantasy literature and fantasy art and that fantasy dwells in the imagination. Then I remembered that Sigmund Freud's first published work was called "On the Interpretation of Dreams," and since fantasy is a kind of wakeful dream, instead of Freud trying to unravel one of his patients' subconscious, I turned the tables and had Imagination imagining Freud. If you look down on the bottom left, you can just see Freud tentatively peering out at the audience wondering what is going on!
