Olan Montgomery
Artist Statement
My art has a simple message: see the individual through color and light. By doing so, one's individuality can be more fully understood. A visual stimulation to remind people to simply look and see through the layers of a complex personality. In our world today a person is lucky if someone takes five seconds to acknowledge their existence; In some respects we can blame (or thank) the mass media for contributing to a jaded social value of "been there, done that" - reality television included. Regardless, my work is an effort to capture an essence within that fleeting context and place it into a freezing perpetual frame.
