  Chicago Style - Digital



Speciale,Phillip-Cracked
Cracked / Mixed Media / 6 / 27.00 USD

Description: Print, Unframed, Signed, Open Editions This is a very significant piece that represents the many split personalities of a writer who cracks under the pressure of writing. It's a simple piece that reflects the Artist's own struggles with writing. The mask covers up the reality just like writing may hide feelings or emotions. The mask gives the piece an eerie feeling with it's black eyes and cracked face. The quill and ink well depicts the writers tools that he uses to create passion, fear and intrigue. When he can't write he searches for the right words and sentences until he cracks. Sometimes he retreats behind the mask and hides until he's able to write again. The digital version of this piece may show the turmoil writers face while creating. It shows the many faces the writer projects to his audience in order to create a world of imagination.

Phillip Speciale

Biography
 
Statement
Phillip J. Speciale (°1959, Chicago, United States) is a self taught artist who works in a variety of media. Speciale tries to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way and likes to involve the viewer in a way that is sometimes challenging. His artworks sometimes directly respond to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. Often these are framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. With a conceptual approach, he tries to creates intense personal moments luring the viewer round and round in a world of imagination. Speciale's works are presented with the aim not to provide an idealistic view but to identify where light and the environment are important. The energy of a place and its emotional and spiritual vibrations are always important. By replaying the work for each viewing and pushing the evocative power of the work a little further, he tries to focus on the activity of presenting. The character, shape or content of the presented artwork is secondary. The essential things are the momentary and the intention of presenting. His works do reference a recognizable form. The results are deconstructed to the extent that the meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted.
