About The Artwork
There was too much MALARKEY about to spill over into the next four years and not enough of a good thing. Anna Maria and Chaleco Salvavidas left the meme world--went to Chicago-to Pilsen, to the corner of 18th and FUCK OUTTA HERE JOE BIDEN. It was late. It was raining. They walked to a park. Christmas was a few days away. “Ou allez-vous said Am to CS. “over there I’m going to stand over there.” “ ou la-bas?” said Anna Maria “To that field, I want stand over there with Bernie.” Anna Maria looked--there was no one in the field but a grey haired old man in a Santa hat that could have been either Bernie Sander or Santa Claus: it was Bernie. Anna Maria waved to Bernie. Bernie waved back. The taco truck vendor in his truck tooted his horn. Anna Maria turned, saw the Taco truck and said, “Oui, Oui,” that she had a taste for a -- Chaleco thought she was going to say, “croissant. ” But she said “taco, J’aile gout d’ un taco!” The Taco Truck was all lit up with tiny pink, gold and blue lights like a Christmas tree. “Let’ s do it,” said the French Artist. “I’m with you sis,” said the brother, but then changed his mind when he saw Bernie Sanders. “My man Bernard. . .” “May I?” he asked Bernie for a picture. “Certainly young man but so you know and let me be perfectly clear, you deserve so much more. . . YOU DESERVE 2000 A WEEK, M4A, FREE COLLEGE . . . . . . “This MF’r can talk,” Bro thought, “he cool tho” and Paulina the Portuguese giggled. and Anna Maria ordered tacos for everyone. Bernie was on a tear: 450000 NON VIOLENT DRUG OFFENDER DESERVE PARDONS. . . . While she waited for her order Anna turned to where Chaleco, Bernie and the Bro stood in the dark bare field. “Quelle annee. . .” she thought. It started to snow. She took a pic and posted it to Twitter while Bernie roared: PEOPLE WHO DON’T DESERVE PARDONS: PAUL MANAFORT, ROGER STONE, KUSHNER, Blackwa. . . . Ahhh, Bernie, she thought with a tear in her eye. “Faire que deux tacos, oui deux tacos pour Bernie Sanders,” she said to the Taco Man. Then she retweeted her favorite 2020 tweet -- an Iraqi woman dressed as Santa rides her bicycle in the old city of Mosul,Iraq 12..18.2020 Abdullah Rashid. (This magnificent photo from Twitter is featured on the bottom right hand corner of this work.)

Baltazar Castillo American b. 1953 My work is a mixed media assemblage of paint and torn paper. I use fashion magazine spreads as both collage and photographic transfer material. As source material, they determine color, content, and pattern. The transfer technique consists of acrylic mediums brushed onto pages and the pages pressed onto the canvas. With images absorbed onto the canvas, the distressed pages, sans images, are carefully peeled and applied to the canvas as collage elements. Sucked of their cultural content, in a washed out state, the distressed source pages, the transferred images merge to form abstract shapes. In the sifting stage that follows these shapes are pummeled back to recognizable landscapes or figurative interiors often using Paper Mache for bulk and mass. I have developed and combined the uses of craft techniques, of paper Mache -with the traditional method of collage to cover the canvas surface in order to create unique supports. Simultaneously I have come to acknowledge the traditional use of collage as a process analogous to that of wallpapering interiors. I use the idea of a covered interior to recreate by relocating images and color from the page to the canvas, to draw and absorb from applied materials rather than to create imagined pictures on a blank canvas. I see my work to be in transition, the transitional stage exists twofold; as a support for my covered interiors and as a papered vestibule for the artist's psyche. At present the idea of the canvas as a transitional support system provides me with ample room for experimental excess and accumulation - covering, ripping, pasting, sanding. I also see my work as transitioning from depicted interiors on canvas to large-scale installations as interiors. Installations as assembled arenas of composed materials, materials that are extracted, combined, expanded upon as both process and subject matter.
