Richard Yasko (Gainesville, FL)

Watercolor / Ink, 20” W x 14” H

 

Artwork:


Commentary on the racist ""traditions"" that permeate all strata of society.

 

 

Artist Statement:

My watercolors often appear as a somewhat free-for-all assemblage of randomly selected images. Though images are selected by strictly casual visual criteria; associative relationships are often hard to avoid. The ground is a complex mix of patterning, reliefs, text commentaries & asides, along with clusterings of repeated images (my persistent Greek Chorus). Compositions rely heavily on subjective associations and formal parallels that open into a unique poetic vein. Stenciled phrases hint at allegory, building credence to a suggested story line. Patterns provide a way in which the entire composition is addressed as a continuous construction, my visual gameboard.

The multilayered images exist on a stage where the fragility and instability of our seemingly certain reality comes into question. I'm sure that most viewers will carry away a spark of an idea that will allow an exploration of beliefs and contemporary situations, possibly challenging their assumed realities in the process.
