Artist Statment

Matthias has been working within the arts all his life in various aspects. His goal is to integrate painting, music, film, photography, acting, narrative, and poetry cohesively, while drawing from life, dreams, symbols, myth, philosophy and psychology.

“In a general reflection on my art and life, I feel that the unconscious and conscious landscape hemispheres collide creating positive and negative tension within our lives. The unconscious has an existence of time immemorial within your myth, while our conscious life ego awakes daily to a fresh new day. So I question; How do we exist through these our entire lives, shaping us toward the past, present and future as one totality? In which way does the essence of it all give meaning to who we are and contribute to our interactions with each other, our earth and universe?

 

It has been a lifelong search and journey revealing my art through these philosophical and psychological constructs. Art that coexists and works in conjunction with these constructs and with each other:

painting, music, poetry, photography, film and narrative. The landscape hemispheres and archetypes create new paths to follow and show themselves as personal empirical motifs within the art abstractly. They prove to be part of the memory, dream, reflection symbiosis. It is all much a mystery and interesting pursuit.”

Tom Ward at Gallery 444 PTown

Opening on Friday night.

Tom Ward is an American painter whose work follows the abstract expressionist praxis of unconventional mark making. He prefers scrapers, cups, and squeegees over traditional brushes. Most of the time, the work-in-progress is on the floor, and he’s either outstretched over it or running around it, manipulating the paint by pouring, smearing, splatting, or monoprinting the color directly to the canvas.
Ward wants his paintings to confront you with a raw honesty. They are not about anything conceptual or representational. Each piece records a series of personal decisions made through color, composition, and texture in a very specific window of time. They are what they are, and the viewer can experience them without the influence of outside preconceptions.

Darreb Jones Art at Gallery 444 PTown

Opening on Friday night.

Darren Jones is a Chicago based artist who captures nature’s beauty in his paintings which evoke emotion and a sense of humanity.  Born in Canada, he is a self-taught artist who enjoys working in oil, acrylic and mixed mediums on canvas or wood panels.  He is frequently asked how he began painting. From a young age he has always known that he has the soul of an artist but it wasn’t until one summer day in 2004, while going to movie, he passed an art store.  He did not go in, but noticed a “starter” oil painting kit in the window for sale.  Intrigued, he returned to the store after the movie and decided to make the purchase, one that he will never regret.  He began painting that evening and has not put his brush down since.  In March 2009, after being laid off from his executive position with a travel publication, he has taken the leap to pursue his passion full time! A decade later, he is going strong.

  “The world and its never-ending natural surroundings inspire my soul, my thinking and my work.” Water, gardens and dramatic landscapes heavily influence his work.  Growing up, fond memories of his mother’s gardens and how she tended to them so gently have been the inspiration for many of his paintings over the years.  Traveling frequently, Jones is often moved by novel settings.  “Many of the world’s natural wonders act as a muse.” All of these elements help him create paintings that are impressionistic , abstract and contemporary in style.  

With his current collection shown here, he tries to evoke a sense of place, peace and calm within one’s soul.  Moving from the simple to the complex while maintaining a sense of order. With many of his new pieces, he has incorporated delicate recycled papers, wood fibers, industrial staples, plaster and beach sand mixed with acrylic paints to create a greater depth to his work.

Jones is a supporter of a variety of organizations and charitable events. He helps raise funds through his art for groups that support children, treat mental illness and AIDS/HIV.

Jones’ work is featured in galleries and private collections in 50 countries across North America, Europe, Australia and the Middle East.
