the fine art of Mike McKenney

 

ARTISTS STATEMENT

I am a visual artist and therefore biased towards aesthetic beauty.

New ideas are fine but what appeal do they have to the eye when they are not presented aesthetically. The laws of aesthetics are not new; they have already been discovered. This fact should not devalue them, because each visual artist is capable of creating their own new interpretation of what appeals to our human sense of beauty. As humans we have an innate appreciation of fractal patterns that fall into certain ratios. Why else do we respond to marble and stone surfaces, clouds and sunsets, flowers and plants?

Light revels the organic form of humans and plants. Transitions encompass unbalanced opposites which creates interest. Value, line, texture, shape, edge, and focus. These are the visual elements that excite me and the ones I use in creating my art.
