A Time and Place for Everything; New Modern Times.

                                            New Modern Times C.T. Rasmuss, acrylic (2013).

I see it turning around for us starving artists, sooner than later; as the great Modernist movement was built in & out of the turmoil throughout the 1st half of the 20th century(particularly WWI and II), it is now our time in the beginning of the 21st century.

There always seems to come a time, throughout all eras of history, when we(as a whole) must finally wake up!   Today it happens to be the hyper reality we've built around us, and it's harmful by-products (ie: Industrial revolution greatly led up to problems in early 20th century).

Art can help reveal to the public, both the good and the bad; allowing its viewers and artists alike to discern between the opposing forces, forged outta the newer, overlooked present & also the past.  Visual art is the simple truth in which I believe must reveal itself evident and pure; it's time for us to take a leap of faith together with our best collective foot forward, as well as keeping our individual cadences..
I am participating in the mt. Adams Artwalk this upcoming Saturday, June 9th from 12-6pm; I'll be at the Tavern on the Hill accross from Longworth's, hope to see some of you out there! Here is the intinerary:
