Statement

With the intention to explore through realistic technical drawing, JosephCrone seeks to further convey the significance of the humanmind through his artistic process. Crone starts froma single, intense humanexperience, often reflectingmoments of a hazy nostalgiaor nightmarishdelusionheavily influencedbyFilmNoir and theelements that bindanearlier period in time, and thenbegins todevelopan intensified narrative stemming from these influences. All scenarios are then uniquely scripted for each still, then reenacted andrecorded through thecollaborationofmodelandcamera.Numerousphotographsare taken inorder tocapture the ideal tensionCroneseeks to portray, creating a sense of cohesiveness that runs throughout his work like chapters in a thought provoking novel.

With theassistanceof jewelerʼsmagnifyingglassesandother varying techniques,Croneproceeds tousemethodsof pressurebaseddrawing on layered, frosted acetate to recreate the finalized photograph that has seen its way through multiple stages of editing.Unlike conventional drawing on paper, the transparent quality of the acetate enables the colored pencil to penetrate the surface witha higher depth of contrast and saturation often seen in colorized photographs.White thermoplastic board, utilized as a drawing tablewith just the right amount of cushion, allows every thoughtfully placed line to show through. Although a seamless pattern of markmaking is essential to achieve this heightened sense of realism, accidental or stray marks are inevitable yet kept in order todemonstrate his drawing process. These combined elements help to compose his vision of an altered realistic, viewing environmentthat assists these gritty narratives, aspiring Crone to further develop and capture with each subsequent work of art.

Mother in a Dog CageDigitlal Photography24" x 30"

Portraiture has always been, for me, a way to tell a story by bringing an aspect of a person to the surface in an almostnarrative environment. This photo is part of an ongoing series about the ways in which women allow themselves to betreated. It is titled "Mother In ADogCage" because the subject is, in fact,my 65-year-old, twice-divorcedmother. The door,you will notice, is not locked; she is in this prison of her own accord, and she doesn't completely seem to mind it.

The Immoralist (Seul Contre Tous)Blood22" x 30"

As discussed on Playboy Radio, printed in Bizarre Magazine, featured in LAWeekly, and interviewed on A&E's Biography, New Yorkbased artist Nick Kusher has garnered attention from both the major and alternative press for using amost personal pigment - his ownblood.

Kushner likens his work to "Art as modern-day alchemy by the literal and complete immersion within it, using the most personal andsymbolic medium innately possible." His art, which tap into the darker recesses of the human psyche with esoterically surreal imagerythat is driven not only by his knowledge of the occult, but by life experience as well, has been exhibited across America and publishedthroughout the world.

in downtown Los Angeles at Studio Servitú marked Kushner's first solo art exhibition. Sponsored by Jade Absinthe, Evil Wine, LipService and Monster Energy Drink the opening night was DJed by Twiggy Ramirez (Marilyn Manson bassist/guitarist/songwriter) andboastedanattendenceof over 500, includingMarilynMansonhimselfwhoworld premiered thepublic listeningof his forthcomingalbumBorn Villain. Kushner's exhibition, entitled 'LesCrimesDe L'Amour', ranked as #4 on LAWeekly's 'Top 10Badass Parties of 2011' yearin review, beatingout highprofile events suchas thePlayboyMansion'sKandylandparty andothers celebratedKushner'smajor follow-up as a collaborative exhibition between himself, award winning photographer Anthony Silva and legendary magician and illusionistRudyCoby. Among other celebritries, artists andmusicians,Ginger Fish and super-model JaniceDickinsonwere distinguished guestsat the opening.

In 2012, Kushner's painting, 'Maldoror', was recently featured on the cover (which he also designed) of the newRussian edition of 'LesChants de Maldoror', a work which is considered to be the first ever surrealist novel. 'Maldoror' will also be displayed the Museum OfFantastic Art in Vienna in April 2012. Kushner is additionally a lifelong pursuant of the occult. He authors the site TheNACHTKABARETT, a sitewhich is an analysis anddissection of the occult imagerywithin the art ofMarilynMansonwhich is scheduledto be published in book form by a major publisher.

Joseph CroneAPM: Joseph, thank you for taking time out of your schedule to do this little interview and congratulations on having your art,Off the Beaten Path, selected as the cover art for issue 7 of Artist PortfolioMagazine. Can you give is a little insight as to,whyyou drew this and what was your motivation in this drawing?

JC: Thanks again for selecting my work to be showcased for the cover of APM’s Issue #7. It’s quite an honor to say the least,especially with all of the unique talent that entered the contest. As for my drawing Off the Beaten Path and the developmentfor the piece goes, I had originally finished this piece specifically for a group show that took place earlier this year at the StutzArt Space,which is located here in the heart of downtown Indianapolis. The group showwas titled10Yards and coincidedwiththis year’s Super Bowl, so ultimately each participating artist had the opportunity to select from ten iconic Indianapolislocations and interpret them in their own artistic fashion. In my case, I selected the Monon Trail, a highly active greenwaysurrounded by woods that had previously operated as a railroad system.

Since I’m a huge fan of film Noir and the early 1900’s, I figured that I would recreate a classic case scenario of suspense andmystery through a voyeuristic eye. So in the end, I wanted to leave it up to the viewer to decide for themselves what exactlyis going on within this blurred environment. You’re probably asking yourself if I have any idea what’s really going on. Quitepossibly, but I don’t want to spoil any future companion pieces just yet.

Page 35: Artist Portfolio Magazine - Issue 7

APM:What is your creative process and your medium of choice?

JC:Mycreativeprocess tends tobepretty straight forward, sohere’s aquick summaryofhowI operate from start to finish:Heading into the processwith a rough script andmyNikon 5100DSLR, I take multiple staged photographs of each model in site specific environments andthen proceed to capture a more intense mood through changes in highlights and shadows viadigital manipulation, i.e. Adobe Photoshop.

With the use of Prismacolor Verithin colored pencil over frosted acetate, which is also mymedium of choice, I lay in flats of tones and textures with circular patterns. Since the frostedacetatehas theability topickupsubtle textures, Iworkonaverticalwhite thermoplasticboardthat allows just enough cushion between surfaces that supports the ranges in the lights anddarkswithout jeopardizing the layerof acetate.Fromthereon, Ipencil in themeticulousdetailthroughout each area with the assistance of jeweler’s magnifying glasses and then finish upby creating sharp highlights through the use of an electric eraser until I get thatwarm, contentfeeling insidewhichusuallymeans I’mfinished.And that’s thebasic approachofmycreativeprocess.

Page 36: Artist Portfolio Magazine - Issue 7

APM:Whyart?What is yourmain reason fordiving into theworldof art?

JC:For some reason this is sucha simpleyet somewhatdifficult questionfor me to answer without sounding cliché. I’ve been entertainingmyselfwithin the arts since a very young age; I never have really given myselfany other option but to pursue art. I have roots as a farm boy from a smallhistoric town in Indiana that is literally called Farmland, which had littleto dowith the art world. It was difficult to find a creative outlet, so I builtworlds around me with action figures and other various objects thatinteracted with my given surroundings, communicating through themeans of drawing what my eye perceived. I still visit that art world Icreated on occasion to remind myself of why I make art. So I guess, insummary, art is a part of my makeup and to be without it would be likehaving my drawing hand removed. It has always been there.

APM:And lastly;wheredoyou seeyourself andyour art in the future andwhere can one find your art right now?

JC: Over the next few years, I will continue to push myself as anemerging artist in hopes for a more prominent position in the art world,all while seeking gallery representation outside of Indianapolis. Don’tget thewrong impression, residing here (Indianapolis) has been great formy artistic development, exposure as an artist, and camaraderie betweenthose in the local art scene, but representation doesn’t really exist as ofnow. As far as where you can find my work, there is a handful of waysyou can do so. Currently I occupy a studio space through a one yearresidency program thanks to the Stutz Artist Association and theirgenerosity. I also have an end of year solo show at wUG LAKU'SSTUDIO&gARAGEin theCircleCity IndustrialComplexandacoupleof group shows beforehand.You can findmore information in regards tothose shows, finished drawings as well as works in progress, and mycontact information all on my website, josephcroneart.com. I enjoyvisitors whether online or in person, so feel free to connect.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I am a self-trained artist whose wish is to create art that evokes emotion through color and abstract organic pattern.

I have worked with various media types over the years: I started with pen and ink, then moved to acrylics, and after much trial and error, settledonwatercolor. I haveenjoyedworkingwith each style for different reasons, andmovingonto anewmedia hasalwaysbeenbittersweet. Ultimately,I have ended up with a style I am most comfortable with and which most reflects who I am as an artist. Developing a style I can call my own tooksome time, but it has been a wonderful process where I was able to learn not just about the different styles and applications, but in the end, I havelearned a lot about myself.

Watercolor has opened a new world of possibilities for me. I love how playful I can be, let my imagination go wherever it wants to at that momentand see what happens, and there is always an element of surprise. My approach to watercolor is quite untraditional in its abstract form as wellasmy choice to paint onmixedmedia board instead of traditional paper. I still enjoy painting on paper at times, butmy favorite surface has becomethe wonderful mixed media board for its versatility and more modern finish.

I have been a reasonably dedicated artist since I was very young, but itwasnotuntil Iwas20yearsold that I knew itmay takemeagood fifty yearsof practice to comeanywhere close to realizing someofmymost inspiredideas.Beingnearly 31 years old nowandhavingworked inmanydifferentmediums since then, such as clay and digital art, I know that therelationship between an inspired idea and the quest to master techniqueis a crucial one. Even at my least inspired, attentive repetition in practicecan lead to innovation.Fleeting ideascan turn into storiesorwholeworldswith anendless list of potential details. This fuelsmypassion. I will live therest of my allotted lifespan continuing on this path.
