ARTIST'S
STATEMENT
ABOUT
THE
ART
|
have
been
interested
in
the
visual
arts
since
childhood,
and
my
holidays
are
typically
devoted
to
visiting
art
museums
and
archeological
sites
in
Canada
and
Europe.
In
particular,
|
find
myself
drawn
to
European
art
of
the
1400s,
all
of
which
is
religious
on
some
level.
There
is
a
tentative
and
exploratory
quality
to
this
period—both
in
Italy
and
Flanders—as
if
the
artists
felt
they
were
on
the
brink
of
discovering
a
new
way
of
seeing
the
world,
but
sensed
that
the
goal
would
remain
elusive.
This
distinctly
“medieval”
atmosphere
continues
in
Northern
Europe
into
the
High
Renaissance.
The
tree
in
the
design
for
this
cover
is
based
on
the
tree
of
knowledge
of
good
and
evil
in
a
painting
by
Lucas
Cranach
the
Elder
(1472-1553):
Adam
and
Eve.
As
|
became
more
immersed
in
work
for
the
cover,
|
found
|
had
ideas
for
an
entire
set
of
oil
paintings,
digital
prints,
and
short
video
clips.
The
work
morphed
into
what
has
now
become
the
Great
Whore
of
Babylon
Project.
The
woman
in
this
project
seems
to
represent
the
neglected,
dark
side
of
the
Pantheon
(i.e.,
what
readers
of
Nietzsche
would
think
of
as
the
Dionysian).
More
examples
of
my
work
are
available
at
www.johnhoyt.ca.
