B.C. GilbertArtist Statement The work which I create is a culmination
of several factors including situations past and present, references
to nostalgic tendencies, environmental surroundings of popular culture
(specifically my own), and an obsession with the depiction of Americana
in an non traditional and unpredictable format. Through these means and by using the devices of construction,
collage, abstraction, found objects, and even premeditated environments
similar to installations, it is my desire and focus to reinvent and
reinterpret the stereotype of presupposed “Western Art” and
to pose and suggest those questions for the supposed audience. Reviews2004 Art Lies Boston
