Artist Statement As A Political Artist

Artist Statement

Politically and socially the world is at stake. The political and social issues are what inspire me to create my artwork. Not only will my artwork show how everyone view our issues as a nation, but show how I view our issues as an individual. I also want to show how the world could be viewed if these issues never exist. This would be shown through graphic design and drawings. Although being a political artist is my first focus, I also take interest in drawing portraits and using my imagination. I want to show you all what my mind creates. Imagination is limitless, no one imagination is the same, but they can relate. Once you start to relate to my artwork, I hope to expand your imagination. The people that inspire me the

    Thomas Nast was undoubtedly the most successful and influential illustrator in American history and his political cartoons had considerable influence over the nation during the second half of the nineteenth century. His impact on American public life was noted enough to profoundly affect the outcome of presidential election during that period. Nast was involved in the creation or refinement of some of the most iconic images in American history: the elephant for the Republican party, the donkey for the Democrats, Uncle Sam, Columbia, and even his invention of Santa Claus. All these cartoonist figures continue as a symbol in our modern society. Nast’s works are so powerful and memorable not only because he was very effective in showing his sense…

    I was born in Germany, where I was surrounded by rich European art. Most of my artwork represents places, buildings, and artists that I was exposed to while living in Germany. I was introduced to art at an early age by my mother who took me to an art museum where I began taking art lessons at. Throughout the years I developed a heartfelt passion for art and the medieval era. When we left Germany my art was still in a cartoonist style, but when we came over to the US my elementary and high school art teacher helped me develop a more realistic style that shows traces of my heritage.…

    The abstract expressionism movement emerge right after the World War II and it all began in the United States. There was finally a movement that would put the country on the spotlight of the world of art; Harold Rosenberg believed Americans had discovered something new, techniques that were not used in European art. He attempted to define this new art and to let everyone know that this movement was a developed version of art from americans. Correspondingly, Action painters like Jackson Pollock found their own americanized style and their own definition of abstract art.…

    It is a fact that artists create, whether through written mediums, visual arts, or music, based on their experiences in life. An artist is someone making a commitment to submit their self to society, exposing themselves and being vulnerable by merging their creative energy into things of beauty and meaning, writers present a part of themselves that only they can waken into being. Within the process of creating art, an individual takes inspiration from all that they are surrounded with and a big part of this in current times is the ongoing political crises. Celeste Ng claims in her piece “Everything I Never Told You,” that writing is always a political act and she emphasizes that it is more important a task to take on now. This is true because we are a time where so much catastrophe is happening or at least present through media and the only choices we have is to turn a blind eye to what's going on or actively participate in making changes, small and big; there is a pooled despair in society and writing comes into the picture, acting as a rope pulling up the social ground from its fall.…

    Washington is not a black feminist artist and does not consider herself a part of any political movement, just like Pickett, she identifies herself as black woman who is a mother and artist. Her artwork also speaks to a feminist perspective message. Washington knew earlier on in the 1960’s her artwork did not fit the mold of mainstream white galleries. Washington’s priority was not being called a black feminist it was about showing her artwork. She felt black women were being overlooked because of the Guerilla Girls were screaming at the museums to let them in.…

    At the moment I photograph the people around me, my family and friends. I love capturing people because they are examples of pure emotion. I aspire to continue capturing people but more complexly. I want to express human nature and raw emotions conveyed by us as humans through my photography to poke at the brain and make people viewing it think. I am hoping to gain the skills to make my photography and art make people uncomfortable, forcing viewers to question perhaps their lifestyle.…

    The idea of turning politics into an art form and incorporating it into daily life was vital to the Fascist movement in Germany in the early-mid 1900s and it is vital today. Though cryptic, this idea can be easily spotted once a basic understanding is formed. The use of aesthetics in propaganda for the nazi party in rallies and marches, in signs and posters, through the speeches given by leaders, creates a means by which the public not only is drawn in by the beauty and spectacle of it all but also the message is spread to the masses. This idea has been seen throughout history and can still be seen in current times through social media, modern politics, and social culture as it is a powerful…

    According to the text Living with Art by Mark Getlein, there are six primary roles that artists fulfill in society: artists “create places for some human purpose” (i.e. monolithic art as Stonehenge, Gobeki Tepe, churches, etc..), artist “create extra-ordinary versions of ordinary objects” (for instance the World’s largest ball of yarn, or Tintoretto’s Last Supper), artists have been used to “record and commemorate” historical events (such as a wedding photographer or Pablo Picasso’s Guernica depicting the carnage of the civil war of Spain), artists give “tangible form to the unknown” (for instance the abstract and cubist movements of the 20th century, or the design of man-made objects), artists “give tangible form to feelings and ideas” ( works…

    Graffiti was once labeled as street art which was frequently a prominent problem in urban cities; defacing or “tagging” public and private property was against the law. As time as evolved, so has the street art culture. Today, street art is one of most sought after and creative outlets for local artists. The culture around street art can be interesting in the fact that artists build their names and reputation with one piece of work at a time; sometimes when it starts to take over the city it gets the attention it has been wanting. Street art is now very innovative featuring many different art styles and often makes a commentary on a social issue and if it does not, then it was created to help change the city.…

    If we were to base the quality of activist art on realization of beauty, sentiments of pleasure, or expression of emotion, activist art should still be able to carry itself with confidence amidst functionless art. Activist art radiates beauty in what it accomplishes. There is beauty in virtuous actions, kindness, and modification. With the beauty of kindness and help, activist art brings a certain heartwarming pleasure to an audience. And these are certainly not devoid of any expression of human emotion, quite the contrary.…
