Item Description

Digital on Epson Ultra Presentation canvas, w/float frame, 42” x 70”

Offered by John Kosboth. 

Emotional landscapes... interior spaces found and lost...  

Our images are aspects of life recognized, moments recalled in quiet times... memory fragments... fantasies (such as tree houses made real or floating in the sky)... parties and pains also real and imagined... walls of all sorts, people, remnants, clutter, hope, small rewards by which we know we exist and have meaning (doing and hanging the wash)... ever present is death... the figure in the doorway with shadow on the right... both montage and memories have necessary edges... the art is in the doing of life and this image an artifact of our process.

 

 

 

 

 

Item Special Note

From John Kosboth, “Born naked, screaming, without a clue...

Presently just old, no clue, occasionally naked, screaming thru art.” 

The image is never “done”, only the artifacts of the process remain static.

While I much prefer that art “speak” for itself, I have recently come to acknowledge two things. First, stories “tell” themselves and in the telling stimulate visualizations which often transport the willing recipient into the storyline which the image embodies. Second, art process benefits from verbalization about the artifact (the visual art, the images, sculpture, danse, etc.) which has resulted from the creative process of choice. 

The entire body of JFK/AJVK’s work may be considered deconstructed expression of both the digitally captured images and the emotional gestalt which influenced the involved decision processes. The resulting are artifacts of these personal processes. Our images present as clean, emotional landscapes of intent and intensity. 

From beginning to end we all, are the art. We are poetry. John Kosboch
