4 Artworks by Duane Locke

Artistic Statement

I feel with Nietzsche, all our learning and beliefs need transformation.  Agree with Deleuze and Guattari, we need a new mode, and entirely different approach to thinking about values and beliefs than what is traditional.. I follow Foucault that In visual arts we should seek what has never been rather what is. I feel our past social construction of what is called life are obsolete. In my non-representational and non-mimetic images I seek to unconceal that the reality that by our mistaken knowledge has been concealed from us.
