ARTIST’S STATEMENT: JACK PACHUTA
The world is a magnificently complex mixture of
color, light, textures and shapes!
Look closely at what's around you and you'll
see a universe of inspiration. Every day you'll find something you haven’t see
before to stimulate your imagination. That's what I do via my monoprints - I
make people see things they might not otherwise see.
When completing my
prints, I take a non-traditional approach to my subject matter. The people,
flora and fauna that provide my artistic inspiration are placed in unique
environments enabling my audiences to see them in new, thought-provoking lights.
The combination of traditional printmaking techniques with the craftsmanship of
pencil and ink renderings creates vibrant, dramatic colors coalescing around
specific textures. Each work, then, tells a story intrinsic to the subject.
When viewing my work, you'll discover an
enhanced reality - tones, hues and shadows that prompt you to go beyond your
existing perspective of what you're truly seeing.
At its core, artist’s
challenge is to portray the usual in unusual ways and to make people see what
they might not otherwise see. This is precisely what I attempt to do. Enjoy
your voyage through my artwork and focus on seeing the world differently!
