intro: name school age My name is Sean Cazzell, 19 years old, currently a sophmore at Columbia College. I would like to transfer to SAIC and start the fall 2007 semester there. i have interests in a wide range of medium that a typical art school can't nourish. i want to come to SAIC so i will have the freedom of availability to all medium i wish to explore, including furthiering my esisting art training with painting, drawing and art hiastory and photohrapgy. i have an interest in conceptual art for what it can communicatr that i believe painting cannot. I am fascninated more in the spectator's reaction to a work than the actual work it self. i feel the artist holds a great dela of power in his/her ability to alter and manipulate the emotions of an individual baced on what medium they use. with conceptual art i can apply different ideas of performance, sculpture, sound, video and installation into one to create an entire atmosphere where the viewers perception is under my control.
reasons: need more, SAIC best school for what i want
GOALS: continue to masters, become professional artist
ABOUT ART & INFLUENCES: limits high art and lo-art,
My art is full of personal symbolism with undeveloped charachters used to create a singular idea or emotion.
conflict plays a major issue on my work. charachters are simplified greatly but still hold aspects to fine art, situations or charachters with a whimiscal nature combined with a form sexual perversion, relationships in class and gender struggle, and generalized concepts of good vs. bad taste. i love the relationships between things: the wya characters interact, the relationshop between social groups, the way one individual will react to another, all of these things have element si find extradorniary and interesting. i enjoy giving the viewr only charachters without any sort of narrative device and utilizing just the relationshiop between the charachters and enviroment to create the ultimate feeling.
i am fascinated by the limits of art. i am obsessed with niave art and itl;s acceptance as a form of fine art. i wonder at what point does art become not art? what is the exact heirarchy of art?
how much in control are peopkle to culture an dhow do they react in culture? where doe a culture begin and end ain time and distance? what defines a culture and as a culture encompasses many people do they all aghree on this same definition.
once i understand the way people react to their world, with my art i can can create a world and control the viewers reaction.
i often reference back to a handful of artists who strongly influence my work: Philip Guston, who i respect greatly for his criticiasm of present movement, and his jump from abstract expressions, which he worked so hard to get established, to creating post-modernism in art. i feel his work utilizes concepts of high and low art and is a criticism of high culture.
Jean-Michel Basquiat for his boldness in painting despite his lack classic art training or what's considered classic artistic talent. I love his work because of the estrnagement it possessed.
Bruce nauman i respect msot in his study of preexamined notions of language and meaning from absurd writers, and rethinking it with newly emerged artistic media such as video, performance and sound, as well as pushing limits of media with scultures of wax, neon or styrofoam.
Gunston - postmodernism
Basquiat - estrangement
nauman - absurdity, lo-art hi-art, language, new media
