Work – life – imbalance I have been reduced to the smallest of stunts, the most oblivious of margins. I have been comminuted and discharged across the seven seas. Dissolved, impotent and ephemeral, I am pissed off. — I have been quartered. Made to share a bed with the monster of mediocrity. It scowls at my nakedness until I get dressed then tells me to get a job. I forget why. — I have been betrayed. Overrun by a tyranny of greed and leisure. I am shoved into a field, or office, or factory. I come home with money to exchange for the things I made yesterday. We are all in the same boat. It is sinking.

Many of my collectors have come to appreciate my work through the abstracts I have been working on for the last few years. I also have a base of clients who have long enjoyed the representational work I do and at the same time there are others who respond strongly to my Asian-inspired brushwork. So, what is going on here? Some have asked about my varied styles of work. Shouldn’t I just pick one? Do I have a problem making a decision? I realize that from the outside it must be somewhat confusing. So, I decided I should explain a little about my art and where it comes from. Most artists develop a style, then focus on that style, refining it, and simultaneously guiding and being guided by that particular style. The style of art that a particular artist works in, becomes their mode of expression, of documenting their relationship to a particular thought or idea. If the artist is serious about their work, their style will evolve over time, sometimes dramatically, other times very subtly. Perhaps because I am a self-taught artist, my style developed out of an intuitive relationship to my art, rather than from any formal structure. From an early age I felt a need to express myself through art, even if at the time, I wasn’t quite sure what it was (or that I was) expressing. My deep love of nature gave me a subject to focus on as I learned different tools and mediums to create my works of art. I even turned to writing for some time, when I felt my relationship to art becoming strained and forced. To me abstract, representational, or brush painting styles are all very strongly connected. They do not appear very different to me at all. I have called myself an interstitial artist, because I never felt I could classify my art within a particular group. Lately, I have been thinking about the idea of my art being intuitive. Perhaps Intuitive-Interstitial? But, why apply any labels? Regardless of what I am creating, I strive for the piece to be authentic. I utilize a lot of meditation, either before or during my painting that helps to keep me connected to that authentic source, be it Spirit, God, Unity (again, more labels). The art I create is challenging. It pushes me. Sometimes it is agonizing, verging on painful, but when the painting is finished and it successfully resonates with that authenticity, I experience joy. This joy grows stronger when I learn that my work reaches and affects others in a positive way. I know then, that I listened well to that inner voice and remained true to the Source that makes each of us both unique and the same. Originally, when I posted my work on my website, I grouped it all together because, to me, it all seemed the same. However, I realize that the connection, from the outside viewer, may not be so clear. But please don’t let the separate galleries keep you from seeing those relationships. If you go to my page on Fine Art America (http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/doan-art.html) you will see that I didn’t separate my work. Each piece on that site has a description about it that gives background about the development and what the painting means to me. Perhaps, from there, you too will see that each piece is both unique and the same. DoAn / (www.doanart.blogspot.com) / (You can also see my work here at RedBubble, and at my website www.doanart.com)

To my surprise …It looks like sales of the ‘Barack Is My Homeboy’ shirt (which I honestly thought was an awesome print and had the right political connotations to attract the funky youth supporters), have actually been overtaken by people snapping up the ‘Dr. Che Guevara’ T’s which has left me baffled…does Big BO, possibly have less of a following than a combination of the late marxist revolutionary and a dedicated hip hop producer??? And if so should Andre ‘Dr.Dre’ Young be running for VP???!!!

It was the beauty in the struggle that enticed me. It was the struggle to perfect a woman’s inner and outer beauty that drove me to this dialect of speech. The Colors and shapes the creator used to mold a woman’s body are flawless. My work can never compare to the curves conceived by the original creator. In my eyes I see a flawless creation with x chromosomes and try to place it on blank sheets of paper and canvas with fineness. / With Greens, pinks, browns, and blues my attempts to replicate this beauty is my muse. It is what makes me the artist i am. It’s why you see what you see. To replicate perfection in total abstraction is my struggle. / In the end I believe woman was a creation of love and positive emotion. http://stores.ebay.com/urban-picasso-art
