ARTIST STATEMENT- Rory Coyne
# # #
In
a world run by technology and instant gratification, I am grounded by a
tradition implemented by generations of Master Artists. Using
techniques influenced by Old Masters, such as Rembrandt, Whistler, and
Sargent, I create allegories that speak to issues of private
contemporary society.
The
symbolisms created within my work, stem from personal experiences in
day to day living, often using animals to signify emotions and
reactions in relationships. These ideas then begin their arduous
evolution from my sketchbook to the final canvas. Contemporary, yet
timeless, myths expressed by emissaries of familiar faces of family
members, friends, and colleagues.
Why
Myth? Because it connects us to the world and one another. It negates
our differences and embraces what we actually are, human beings. We all
descend from tribes and have comparable origins, and as the same
species, have similar reactions to our surroundings. Myth stems from
within us and is molded by culture. It is a response to our everyday
life and embellishes certain details to express a greater truth. My
images come about in a similar way, what I perceive to be in the spirit
of my earliest ancestors. Through my work, those close to me become
divine beings without actually being divine, and their stories are told
in a fantastic way. My art process is the ritual by which I express
these personal myths.
My
works are observations, and commentaries on daily living through the
use of allegory. The meanings behind the symbolic imagery, although
personal, are meant to be interpreted in many different and individual
ways. The subjects are often therianthropic figures; some animal parts
morphing into the body elegantly, while some protrude instead. These
zoomorphs are an extension or form
of the "self" a reflection of identity - not to be confused with
spirit guides or totems. The paintings recognize and confront my own
daimons, which Rollo May refers to as any motive that has the ability
to take over a person. Issues that cause a personal struggle are not
uncommon: concepts such as the challenge to affirm our respective
anima, or self-actualization, and socioeconomic status are ideas that
many people can relate to.
