I'm somewhat grateful that I was born on the cusp of this new age, with one foot in the real and the other in the virtual as it takes shape. Selfies are unnatural to me, but I can sympathize with the generations that are growing up in a state of constant reckoning with their own image. We now live in age where self-promotion and branding is the expectation, where the minutiae of our faces are to be offered up daily for public consumption. Perhaps because of this, and an accepted lack of p</span></span></span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">hotogenicity, I have shied away from the trend. </span></span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: , "blinkmacsystemfont" , "segoe ui" , "roboto" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">In my past studio practice, there were tens of self-portraits in regular production at any given time; to say I made a hundred in graduate school feels like only a slight exaggeration. Many were painted over or destroyed. Most are in storage and are largely forgotten. (Coming from the last years of an age where photographic documentation was also cost prohibitive!) I suspect I have made less than ten in the twenty years since. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">The next in my exploration of hues- yellow-orange. Second choice titles include aurulent, which somewhat inaccurate, and marigold, which fits the hue but strongly evokes the flower. So, I'm settling on the word saffron, also floral in origin, that is almost as often as a description of color as the spice which was used as a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_and_use_of_saffron" target="_blank">dye</a>. Again, many pigments were used from cadmium, arylide, euxanthin, which seem less fitting for a title. </span><br />

Spurred along by recent mood to complete works, I pushed through on this one that has also been around in my studio for an <a href="http://josephbegnaud.blogspot.com/2010/09/bring-on-green.html" target="_blank">unmentionable</a> amount of time in various stages.

This was the third false monochrome that was exhibited in the 2014 UNCP
faculty exhibition. It was later accepted into a 2015 national juried show titled "Form and Void" at the Golden Thread gallery in Hartford, Connecticut. I quite liked the title of the show as it meshed with my image and concept.

Another "false monochrome" that was initially exhibited in the 2014 UNCP faculty exhibition. Last post, I promised some explanation of the titles. If you haven't guessed, the Blog post titles are the English translation of the original titles, which are in Polish. Why Polish? Aside from the artistic relationship I've had with the country in my travels there, I have been interested with how the language looks to most Americans, who typically read only English. Russian's Cyrillic script is immediately recognizable as foreign but Polish has some accessibility in its Latin script. Yet, with its daunting use of successive consonants, it defies comprehension. Even with practice, I confess, it defies pronunciation. When I'm in Poland, I've thought at times it sounds like English is being spoken backwards--- and what's more Romantic than that? (I speculate David Lynch might agree, if we were to track the connection progression from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkhXHFnu99A" target="_blank">Twin Peaks</a> to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inland_Empire_(film)" target="_blank">Inland Empire</a>.)<br />
<br />
Painting aspires at its best to be another unspeakable language. Visually, I kept the contrast as low as possible to defy the image which is as apparent as its color. It's a red face, of course, but can it be more? The internet is overrun with easily digestible images; all here becomes cheap and loses meaning through abundance. In real life, original objects are becoming all the precious and strange. Many people are all the more uncomfortable in an art gallery or museum--they cling to the title cards to explain work. (I won't get started on <a href="http://en-us.sennheiser.com/integrated-systems-guided-tour-systems" target="_blank">museum headsets</a>.) For 99.9% of the audience who view this work, the titles obscure rather than reveal. Of course, a quick Google translate would solve the mystery. Czerwoność means redness. (Or at least I think it does.) Does understanding make any difference, or was there something indeed more profound in not knowing?Begnaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15006238225581814577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534211977252655466.post-87089652191858701182016-04-05T16:05:00.000-04:002016-04-11T14:46:03.263-04:00Obscurity<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The first of what has developed into a small series that I am tentatively calling "false monochromes." Like most of my working process, I have been making these concurrently with the small ones (and bigger work that I can't even begin to talk about.) As you can see (or not see from the photo,) I have been carefully controlling my color to make a low-contrast image. Although the work is technically analogous, people have referred to these paintings as monochromes; various pigments of violet and red-violet predominate. This painting was exhibited initially in the 2014 UNCP faculty exhibition in the A.D. gallery and most recently exhibited at the 2015 Art Fields in Lake City, South Carolina. I'll elaborate more on the title concept in my next post.Begnaudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15006238225581814577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534211977252655466.post-27032152383115293062016-03-20T15:22:00.000-04:002016-04-07T10:38:44.928-04:00Joy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"Radość"<br />
14 x 11 inches<br />
oil on panel<br />
<br />

Thought this would be a suitable image for the first day of Spring, and past time to post some of the works on panel that I have been working on over the last year or so. I've been exhibiting them nationally, but only recently realized my neglect in posting them online. So the last complete one is first, to be followed by its predecessors. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18.48px;"> </span><br />
