ISAAC KARNER MIXED MEDIA PAINTER
OTC Fine Arts Gallery 3rd Floor Gillioz will hold an opening reception during First Friday Artwalk, Friday, September 2, 2011 from 6:00pm-10:00pm. Enthusiastically, we are featuring intriguing artwork from mixed media painter, Isaac Karner.
Isaac Karner artist statement:
I am fascinated by the way common objects take on symbolic meaning when they are placed in an artistic context. Growing up around farms in Colorado, I grew to love finding bits of junk and machinery. Each piece has a history and is a connection to whoever had it before. There is an intriguing similarity between Art and Trash–both indicate what societies and cultures are like. Perhaps that is why I find found objects so useful in creating an artistic experience, which is a communication between the artist, the art itself, and the viewer. It is my hope to take the detritus of our society and create something new, beautiful, and transcendent. I strive to create art that speaks of redemption and hope without ignoring or trivializing the plights of our society.
