Nick A Demos July 29, Atlanta at  a very early age. He took art classes at Mrs. Joseph Madison High's house, from the Atlanta Artists Center in  their first year of exisitence at age 4 in a big green victoria house donated to  the Atlanta Art Association by the High family.  Then the house was torn down and on that same property a red brick building was built on the donated High property and it was named the High Museum of Art.  The High Museum of Art became The Atlanta Arts Alliance Memorial Complex. It was built from the 15 million dollars donated to build a memorial for 106 art patrons who died in the Orly field plane crash. The art patrons were returning from a trip to the Louvre. The French Government also donated an Augustin Rodin statue, The Shade (L'Hombre), to the High Museum as a memorial for the art patrons who died in the plane crash. Nick studied art and art history with many art teachers. He attended Georgia State University where he met Joseph Perrin head of the Art Department. where Nick studied. Nick earned a Bachelors degree from Georgia State University and a Masters degree from the University of Georgia. Nick lived in California for several years and began doing found object art.  When Nick returned to Georgia, he reconnected with Professor Emeritus Joseph Perrin from Georgia State University.  Nick was mentored by Joseph Perrin in his private studio from 1990 to 2002. This is where Nick developed Neosymbolism into paintings Most people think of Symbols as things or movements: the new symbols or Neosymbolism as I have defined it are words. The world was spoken into existence from nothing by speaking the word. The published definition of Neosymbolism in September of 2004 is " Words juxtaposed to other words and letters within those words". This creates a powerful statement greater than  just the meaning conveyed by the original words. Woven into our language are clues to this revealed knowledge and wisdom. Art most often has been associated with Painting, where in the word Paint is the word screaming at one in clear sight is the word PAIN. The belief that pain is at or pain propels the artist into self examination and the examination of their world and presentation and to understand the pain and heal the wound. The Fluidity and Power of Words is almost incomprehensible until you begin examining the words you use in clear sight all the time, in your language and advertising and even in the names people have and the careers and directions their life takes.Art happens and text in art, especially looking at neosymbolism's defines presentation as a way of understanding the role words play in our life and shaping of direction, that it becomes art, so that your perception of the world and words in your world changes. This is Art, where you see words elevated to a new level so that your perception of the world has been permanently altered. Neosymbolism began as a hand made book of 50 word pictures
