Description

AIM HIGH
“This artwork was created using Neurographic Art techniques as developed by Pavel Piskarev in 2014.”


DROLLS & INKLINGS - are characters and caricatures found only in the mountains of North Carolina- specifically residing only in my Asheville studio. (((*:*)) where they often arrive to surprise us.

- These creatures may be opinionated but with good will and humor. And, YOU can add your colors to these pen-and-ink drawings. Here are Simple Words to Share a Message--be it Light-hearted or Serious. . . . . P.S. These images are great on MUGS! Or CARDS--or any number of "surface art" pieces.

This AIM HIGH image is part of the "ASHEVILLE DROLLS & INKLINGS" pen and ink series.

It "happened" as I sat quietly in my studio here in Asheville, N.C. wondering about messages for graduates-- . Enjoying an afternoon as I looked out across the mountainside, I looked up to see an owl! "AIM HIGH'" I thought! . . .

I took out a sketch pad and began working with a meditative/relaxing and envisioning technique using pen and ink. (While later I painted the image, I saved the original for a series of "coloring book" collection here.)

The nudge and jolt when elements come together with a sense of joie de vivre as I experienced when creating this "neurographic" image was captivating.

As David Bowie said, "I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring." And THIS image was just that for me. .!!

As I mentioned, it began as a pen-and-ink sketch--a "neurographic" jaunt into the realm of possibility where mountain slopes and coves and peaks come alive.For me, creating images is a coalescing experience. I "lose track of time" while in the creative flow, and feel a deepening sense of calm. I love the idea of lyrical abstraction where I can blend geometric and organic influences.

The technique I have turned to-(as you see here)- to work toward "letting go and moving effortlessly " into a creative process that goal is Neurographic art. It is one rooted in psychology and akin to meditative practices. For more info: https://www.neurographica.us


MEDIA:: Sketch for composition to paper. The result then captured as a photo and brought to create a JPEG. Finally, digital layering of the original materials.


Objective:: Narrative art with emotive content- that offers an opportunity for the viewer to interpret the story being told, and thus add to the story. Whether as a digital abstractionist, working as well on canvas and with photography to produce mixed media images, my hope is to engage the person who is looking at the image.

Symbolism :: Ever a sense of joy of life, transitions, new perceptions that evoke positive change, the embracing of an inner - symbolic-mythic- visual landscape that can reveal how disparate parts work together when visual impressions, founded on simple or more complex designs, build on a promising tale of life on Earth.
