Artist Statement
Don Arday is a Professor in the School of Art at Rochester Institute of Technology. He received his Master of Fine Arts degree from Syracuse University and his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Cleveland Institute of Art.
Don’s work is based on the perceptual effects of association and identification. The composition, surfaces, and elements within the images suggest possible identifiable, familiar human and animal traits, expressions, etc. The images call on each viewer make their own discoveries. The number of complexity of elements provided for a viewer invite them to constantly assess the images to recognize new content.
In Hiding
There’s something to be said for being “in hiding”. An act at concealment, a form of self-preservation, a way of avoidance. A conscious decision to avert discovery. The art presented in this exhibition displays hidden creatures and personas within the imagery.
Although the images presented share a relationship to the basic concept behind Don’s past work, this body of work exhibits a shift in artistic methods to a far more mixed-media approach to image making.
