Artist Statement:
- John Pacer -
Artist Statement
I believe that the purpose of
art is to communicate an idea
and to tell the story of
humanity. Throughout every
epoch since human beings have
existed art has always been
there. If one studies the
history of art one has studied
the history of humanity.
While I often move between
various modes of
representation and
abstraction, Im always
attempting to create an
atmospheric tension that I
hope might excite and unnerve
the viewer. I also attempt to
create a basic narrative that
may or may not serve as a
jumping off point for further
extrapolation. I see life as
an absurd struggle between
annihilation and salvation and
my work is an attempt to
convey that worldview.
