Rex's Artist Statement:

My work is a collision of artifacts and events initiated by the people I meet, the things I read and the places traveled. The mindset and ideas of the western world are presently smashing against my experiences in Asia (Hong Kong, Beijing, Rural China & Li Shue). Gauguin asked “Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?”. Rothko searched for the sublime. I search for a path for the “every day man” to access the wonderfully complex history & context of visual art. Through bright colors and “creative spelling” the viewer is taken into a world of personal narrative. Writings (based on paintings) form story telling that people can read & enjoy. The hope is to refine a visual & written language that anyone can access, no matter what there age, experience or background. Art is as complex as the living of life itself. At times it is simple, and at other times very murky... I paint my life, and in this process I hope you can see a bit of yours too!
