IEA Member Artist Profile
Howard Hersh
ARTIST STATEMENT
It is my belief that separation is a concept invented by the mind. Truly, there are only relationships. Whether earth, air, water, plant,
or animal; they are all made up of molecules. They touch and interact. Time and space as well have proven to be intrinsically linked. Even
thoughts acting as the collective unconscious are connected. By combining disparate elements, such as nature and architecture, and making
the picture pleasing to look at, I am demonstrating this point. By peering through the various layers in my paintings, the viewer can
distinguish different elements, but sees them as a whole. The world, which we think of as a whole, is an incredible stew of shapes, sizes,
colors, events, and sensations, similar to the picture plane of a painting. Also, by playing with scale, I can illustrate relationships
in our micro and macro environments. In a sense, by creating works that convey harmony to draw the viewer in, I am adding to the family
of connectiveness. Just like spanning the gap between the artists' hand and eye, I hope my paintings span the gap of separation that people
imagine exists in the mind.
