Idea behind (skid_concept)

By definition...

Main Entry: 1skid
Pronunciation: \skid\
Function: noun, verb
Etymology: perhaps of Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Norse skīth "stick of wood"
Date: circa 1610

1: one of a group of objects (as planks or logs) used to support or elevate a structure or object
2: to apply a brake or skid to : slow or halt by a skid

I could take a couple of different perspectives on this idea. One being, my ideas are used to support and progess something towards bettering itself. Two, I apply a break to myself. Acting without or before thinking only brings unecessary complexity and consequences. Or it could just be a simple play on my name...

Insight.

I'm a moderately expressed extrovert, who thinks outloud. I like to expand upon my emotions. I'm fatigued by a lack of stimulation. I live life to understand it. I am an idealist. A conceptualist. I match my artistic style to French Art Nuveau. I share an afinity for flat dynamic silhouettes, with subtle accents. I have a love for drawing. I never start a project without fully sketching out my ideas.

I visualize the completed elements as awhole through use of my imagination. Before whn I studied architecture I didall of my drawings by hand. It is said that there are some thigns a computer cando better than the hand. I believe it is the other way around. Hand drawings are beautiful and bring line to life. A new element is added to the picture, human vulnerability in making mistakes.

Text Commentary- Arnaldo Morales

Arnaldo Morales makes art that attacks people! it's violent and raw. He tries to capture fear, aggression, vulnerability, pain and danger in his mechanical pieces. All because he is trying to research and understand life after nearly being killed from being shot in the head. Through his work he is trying to control the audience. Is it because he assumed a submissive roll when he was held at gun point? Does he feel like he needs to hold the power now? or is it because he feels that once someone enters a particular situation they have to cooperate one way or the other. Body or mind. I think his work is fun for the aspect of engaging the audience in such a way. But I think it's a cop out as well. It's a way for him to play bully....without actually physically engaing someone. Like he himself gets to take a passive role. What a punk.
