Artist Profile:
Albert Zeeko
Location: New York / Colorado
Biography:
American, born 1961. Self Taught. Studied the Dada, Surrealist and
Conceptual Artists of the 20th Century.
Artist Statement:
The cry of rebellion which I utter associates my ideals with those
of the Post Conceptual artists. These ideals were not invented by
some aesthetic clique. They are an expression of a desire which
boils in the veins of every creative artist today.
I rebel against that spineless worshiping of old canvases, which
is filthy and worm-ridden and corroded by time. I am sickened by
the foul laziness of artists, who, ever since the twentieth century,
have endlessly exploited the glories of the New York School of abstract
artists.
Living art draws its life from the surrounding environment. Our
forebears drew their artistic inspiration from a religious and political
atmosphere which fed their souls; in the same way we must breathe
in the tangible miracles of our apocalyptic bi-polar contemporary
life.
