JOE KLAUS

Artist Statement

Through mixed media, painting and photography along with found objects I seek to find the in-between of reality and daydreams. Consciously exploring the unconscious to discover the deprived memories that never come to the surface; communicating a basic human function and allowing it to still have interpretation. Within this frame work of comfort and the frailty of memories being expressed I pull from my own energies of masculine and feminine, strength and sensuality, color and emotion to create a more interpretive form whether abstract or figurative.
