ForewordIllustration is Blue Collar – both pervasive and accessible. It is art that must survive in spite ofcommerce and function. There is a desperation to the thing; illustration that doesn’t work doesn’teat. Given limitations in time to communicate and the space in which to do it, illustration mustanswer a question.
Fine Art is White Collar – reclusive with airs of mystery and sophistication. It is pursued. Given theabundance of space in which it is viewed and the time which it is afforded, fine art has the luxury ofasking a question.
As innovators that communicate, we are between two opposing fronts, searching for that anomalythat is both recognizable and never-before-seen. Ideas are born of the union of such unrelated things.
In a time when access has reached the Faustian ideal, information is often confused with knowledge.I refuse to accept that appropriation and homogenization are the movements that will define ourgeneration. The search for original thought is a journey of faith – a belief that art is necessarybecause it isn’t necessary. The compulsion to create is emblematic of life that has moved beyond thebase functions of survival. Art is evolution.
If life moved at a steady speed and constant direction, then art would not survive. We need only leadthe beast with the proper trajectory to take it down. But life lives, and we must choose to take it or totame it. Art is us run-through-the-world and the world-run-through-us.
“Art is the transfer of emotion from one person to another.” – Leo Tolstoy
