Artists Who Stare

  Artists who Stare into their Creative Self Vignette There is a reckoning in the soul of every artist. It begins as a tremor, a flicker of light, almost imperceptible, yet relentless in hunger. That precise moment when the artist is alone, silhouetted against the radiance of an internal inferno and stares unflinchingly into their creative self. They dwell in the space between inspiration and doubt, bathed in the glow of possibilities and tormented by the fear of mediocrity. To exceed the ordinary, the artist knows, is both a blessing and a curse. Each touch, each word, each act of creation becomes a paradox: an offering to eternity but rooted in the fleeting frailty of the present. What if they fail? What if the light within, so achingly bright, burns them to ash rather than illuminating their path? The act of creation is no longer a choice; it has become a necessity. There is no turning back.

This House Decides and Path of Convenience 

(transcript)

These two works of art published in 2019 capture the essence of the artist's journey, inviting viewers to reflect on their paths, challenge the familiar, and seek more profound connections with the world around them. The intent is to be thought-provoking to prompt meaningful dialogue and invites transformative experiences for all who engage with the artwork. The artworks employ abstract content and commercialised headers.

I am speaking as an avatar of JJFBbennett.

My artistic practice explores the transformative power of disrupting the path of convenience. Through my work, I invite viewers to stop looking down and instead direct their gaze upwards and across the horizon. Drawing inspiration from a pivotal moment, I realized the importance of shifting perceptual perspective. Just as I looked up from what was once remarkable and secure, my art aims to challenge conventional norms and expectations.

Within this pursuit, I delve into the concept of luxury, recognizing its transient nature. The fragility of this coveted state is a recurring theme in my art, as I question the endurance of material comfort and societal agreements. Through various mediums and techniques, I aim to provoke contemplation on the fleeting nature of watching others indulge and reflect on my self-indulgence.

I want to capture the essence of my artistic journey by converting these evocative poems into an artist statement. I encourage viewers to reflect on their paths, challenge the familiar, and seek more profound connections with the world around them. Ultimately, I aspire to create art that prompts meaningful dialogue and invites transformative experiences. My art is not objective it is positional.
