🎨 Featured VAG Artists Part 2 - DON FARRELL
This is the second in a series about the Artists in my Visionary Art Network.
More than the definition of “Visionary”, the network encompasses Surreal, Outsider, Fantastic Realist, Magic Realist and related art forms as well.
I have been involved with curating artists since 2009, initially founding a private network on the Ning Platform, and shortly thereafter a public website, the VISIONARY ART GALLERY to showcase these artists. I posted here ABOUT US to explain who we are. More information, and links to previous related posts you will find at the end of this blog.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
"I wield symbols, myths, and visions intuited in my life's journey to bring viewers to a place before powerlessness and cynicism. I hope that my art encourages you, not only to Think, but more importantly, to Feel, to Love.
The fire of the gods, burning bright - its warmth emanates from the parted palms of the open-hearted. With promethean pleasure, I open the door for all to see their Divinity, to claim their rightful crown.
Every Man and Woman is a Star; Do what thou wilt."

thanks!
Die Aneinanderreihung verschiedenster Motive entwickelt sich hier nicht zu der Fessel, die mich gefangen hält. Die gelungene Naivität wirkt dadurch überladen.
Lediglich meine Meinung

Don is actually very consistent - possibly my fault that I selected images to show the variety of his work from different periods, rather than a series of similar subjects (or maybe I should just have picked one image ? It certainly would have been easier and quicker to blog). His style is very personal and recognizable, something one cannot say with many other artists.
Ich tendiere eher zu einem Werk, auf das ich mich dann auch voll konzentrieren kann.
