ABOUT THE ARTWORK

As a first-generation immigrant, I am obsessed with the question of how dislocation may relate to inspiration. How does biography, if it does, relate to innovation? How does where we live make us who we are (and what we are capable of)? With a background as a poet, I see every nail in the wall as a metaphor. Thus, I see nostalgia for my own youth and innocence working as a kind of universal longing we all feel for our youth and lost innocence. "Mopey Child" is painted with oil, ink, and charcoal on gessoed wood panel. Signed on back.

Gene Tanta, b. 1974 in Timisoara, is a central Illinois-based artist/poet who emigrated to the US from Romania when he was 10. Pursuing his childhood dream, Tanta is using thematic projects to explore the colors and shapes in his unconscious heart. That oblivious thing thumping away against systemic conventions continues to serve as a platform for inspecting the supple force he first felt as an 8 year old timidly uttering the word artist under a dictatorship in communist Romania. His studio practice engages dislocation politics and aesthetics, most recently manifesting as assassinated figures, autobiographical portraits, anthropomorphous cairns, and childlike outlines houses.
