TIANJIN HUITAI ART CENTER TIANJIN, CHINA
AMERICAN CONTEMPORARY FIGURATIVE PAINTING
VINCENT DESIDERIO - ANN GALE- STEVE HUSTON - ALEX KANEVSKY- JEREMY LIPKING –
KEITH PERELLI - DANIEAL SPRICK – JOSEPH TODOROVITCH – NICOLAS URIBE – VICTOR WANG – KENT WILLIAMS

I was chosen as one of twelve figurative painters to be shown in the new Huitai Art Center in Tianjin, China. Tianjin is a city outside of Beijing China. The exhibit opens May 2012 and each artist will have his own catalog to accompany the exhibit. The exhibit was curated Dongfeng Li, Professor of Art and Design at Morehead State University, Kentucky. I feel honored to have been chosen but perhaps more surprised because I was chosen without even applying.

Stolen: Portraits of Urban Youth
Oil, paper, mixed media, 64” x 30” 2010

The facial portions of the portraits in this series were based on real photographs of youth accused of crimes. I was reminded of the desperate and dire prospects for many youth of my city and the dismal reports of crime and death here in New Orleans Parish. In this case, in real life these young men most likely face judgment or prejudice for his skin color or race. There are complex social and political factors that affect the future challenges of race and progress for minorities in America. Despite the shortcomings or inability to escape circumstances and socio-economic cycles of crime and poverty, I sought to portray some sense of dignity and worth to lives of young men. I found these candid mug shots (photos) interesting in that the figures often suggests a sense of defeat and or even reserve about his or her predicament. Do they see any wrong in their criminal behavior as a means of survival? Can society continue to dismiss the challenges of minorities and inner-city youth as casualties of their own making?

22” x 29” Monotype painting Collage, Mixed Media, 1/1, 2010
The facial portion of this painted monotype collage is from a real mug shot. This particular subject and others that I used in this series were of felons with multiple charges and arrest records. I was reminded of the desperate and dire prospects for many youth of my city and the dismal reports of crime and death here in New Orleans Parish. In this case, I depicted the subject as an octopus with multiple arms. The hands were painted from observation as I posed in front of the mirror. It is often the case that octopi are characterized as villainous and untrustworthy; in real life he most likely faces judgment or prejudice for his skin color or race.
