Have You Seem this Artist Nick A Demos?
The Genesis of Neosymbolism by Nick A Demos
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, that I made in 1988, the year 1998 I began painting these word pictures on to canvas as paintings. Then the name neosymbolism which I created became the name presented for these juxtaposed word paintings, neosymbolism having never been used as a word until then. Neo had been used and Symbolism had been used but never together as one one word. Words access the verbal part of the brain and color the creative part of the brain, so word paintings in neosymbolism utilize access to both hemispheres. Origins of words like the beginning and end of a verse in the Bible, reveal insight, like Genesis 13 verse 16. Thou descendants shall be as numerous as the Sands. The first word "Thou" and the last word "Sands" has become our term for many "ThouSands" and then later numerically representing 10 hundreds. Is it that text in art, has just been the random addition of words on paintings, artists struggling to understand a deep mystery high lighting words by adding them to paintings, knowing that they are important, but not being able to reveal the true logical effect words have on our lives. Now, with neosymbolism the true meaning of words is beginning to be revealed to the world. Nick A Demos published in the Daily Constitutional.
