FALL GENTLY TO THE WATER

2009-06-17T17:35:00.000-07:00

The gin co leaves and petals fall to the water belows as gentle breezes blow them from the graceful branches. I especially love the transparent look of the leaves and petals. the brightness of the blue water make the green leaves and red petals pop. This is a great healing painting.

KOKOPELLI /Dancining The Dawn

2009-06-17T12:02:00.000-07:00

I loved painting this Native American Icon of a well loved and honored spirit. Kokopelli is the one who danced and played his flout collected music and song, spreading happiness and fertility, wherever he went. Their are many tales told in many nations and clans throughout the US.

top: COLORS below:VOODOO-DOO-DO/JAZZ

2009-06-17T11:44:00.000-07:00

The two paintings were the first experimental pieces I did Painting each color with acrylic paint the process was long and tedious work trying not to let the colors touch. The painting below was quite like the first and the first experimenting with dripings of paint, layering and overpainting to create a texture of sorts.

HALLUCINATION AND FABRICATION

2009-06-17T11:28:00.000-07:00

The detail shot here is to show the fabric that was intertwined throughout this work. The fibers of the yarn used is holding tiny droplets of paint above the painting itself this experimental work has made for interesting conversation. The bright colors pop as the dark forest green floats above( appears black in this photo.)

EARTH SPIRIT DANCING

2009-06-17T11:19:00.001-07:00

#1 of THE FOUR DIRECTIONS SERIES here is the earth depicted in rich earth tones and you see the roots, the worms digging, the life the earth provides for us all. The direction is North for the Earth.

SPIRIT OF THE WIND

2009-06-17T11:08:00.000-07:00

#2 From the FOUR DIRECTIONS SERIES this is a painting done in greens to reprisent the wind. The wind only seen through the movement of the grasses and leaves of the trees. You can feel the movement of the wind passing through the branches in this painting. (air is the westerly direction)

THE GREAT FIRE SPIRIT

2009-06-17T10:52:00.000-07:00

This painting was the first painting I did in the series and it is red, black, white, & orange and a little glitter. viewers have noticed spirits or people dancing in the painting. this is a fun piece. #3 THE FOUR DIRECTIONS SERIES

WATER SPIRIT POWER

2009-06-17T10:41:00.000-07:00

ENDTABLE / FUNCTIONAL PAINTED SCULPTURE

2009-06-16T23:02:00.000-07:00

I CREATED THIS END TABLE WITH RECYCLED MATERIAL TOO BAD I DROPPED IT. IT IS BROKEN. IT IS MADE OF WOOD PLEXIGLASS AND PAINT.I STILL HAVE IT.

CIRCUS PEANUTS

2009-06-16T22:54:00.000-07:00

I MIXED PACKING PEANUTS INTO PAINT AND POURED THEM OUT ONTO THE MATBOARD. I DRIPPED PAINT ONTO THEM AND LIKED THE EFFECT. THEY REMINDED ME OF THOSE CANDY MARSHMELLO CIRCUS PEANUTS THAT I MADE MYSELF SICK ON AS A KID. O-O-O-O THE THOUGHT OF THAT DAY IS STILL IN MY MIND. NOT FUN.

CHINESE RED GRIMOIRE(BOOK OF THE RED WIZARD)

2009-06-16T22:31:00.000-07:00

THE PAINTING IS THAT OF A WIZARDS GRIMOIRE FROM THE EAST. IT IS THE BOOK OF MAGIC I TRIED TO CREATE THE ILLUSSION, THAT THE CENTER WAS A VORTEX WITH OBJECTS FLOATING IN AND OUT OF THE CENTER THAT IS RECESSED INTO THIS MAGIC BOOKS COVER. I THOUGHT OF IT DISPLAYED IN A CASE IN A MUSEUM AS AN ARTIFACT AS I CREATED IT.

EGGSTRATERESTRIAL INVASION

2009-06-16T22:20:00.000-07:00

THESE LITTLE ALLEN CREATURES HAVE MET THEIR FATE IN A EGGCITING WAR OF THE WORLDS. OH, WHAT GOES ON IN MY HEAD AT TIMES IS BEYOND ME. FUN. MADE OF POLYFOAM EGGSHELL AND SOME YELLOW AND RED SPLATTERS OF PAINT AND POLYURATHAIN TO GIVE THAT RAW EGG EFFECT.MY LITTLE ADVENTURE HAS ENDED.

2009-06-16T22:09:00.000-07:00

I HAD A THOUGHT THAT A MADUSSA WOULD BE A GREAT THING TO TRY . WHILE AT AN ART SHOW A MAN SUGGESTED I MAKE A MADUSSA. I TOOK THAT AS A SIGN AND HER IS BABY MADUSSA. THE IMAGE WAS TAKEN BY PLACEING WET PAPER OVER A SCULPTED DOLL HEAD AND LEFT TO DRY THE PAPER WAS THEN FILLED WITH POLYFOAM AND THAN INCORPORATED INTO THE SCULPTURE SEE THE LITTLE HANDS REACHING FOR MAMA MADUSSA DONT LOOK HER IN THE EYE YOU WILL TURN TO GOLD.

2009-06-16T21:54:00.000-07:00

RAINBOWFALLS, CAME TO ME WHEN I BEGAN TO THINK OF ADDING COLOR TO THIS BENTGLASS AND FOAM SCULPTURE, THE BASSE IS WOOD . RECYCLED ITEMS. THAT SEEMS TO BE THE NEW THING . BUT I HAVE RECYCLED MUCH INTO ARTWORK OVER THE YEARS.

BLUE FALLING WATER

2009-06-16T21:43:00.000-07:00

IN CREATING THIS PIECE I WAS THINKING OF THE ELEMENTS AND HOW I COULD UTILIZE THIS DISCARDED GLASS THE IDEA JUST CAME AND THIS IS THE RESULTS.THE GLASS SITS INTO A WOODEN BASE.

2009-06-16T21:41:00.000-07:00

OTHER WORK I DO IS PORTRAIT PAINTING, SPIRITUAL ICONS, SURREAL IMAGES AND STYROFOAM . ENJOY THE WORK

Artist statement/JP Fernandes

2009-03-07T20:45:00.000-08:00

JP Fernandes enjoys working with unusual mixed media . His Abstract creations,such as his shadow boxed reliefs and his unique sculptures using pollyresin foam with glass, wood, paint,and plastic give him the edge that makes his work easily recognisable and Memorable.

Color,shape and texture and the ability to manipulate objects to to create a unique style of his own. He began referring to his work as abstractivateing, or going in to the studio to abstractivate. Finding things to use to create his work is never a problem there is much discarded materials to gather up and bring to the studio and create with.

There are those moments when he will get a request to do a painting a light house or a native dancer, that is also enjoyed . But to take and create something totally unrecognisable is most exciting and pleasurable. the Idea for using unusual materials came to me one day in a lumber and hardware store looking for paint and I began to see materials that I could put to use creating art from everyday materials that were difficult to control . Going to that place, that of the imagination, thinking about color and shape and texture and working into the wee hours and coming back again and trying to get it special individual look that will grab the viewers eye and make them think and wonder about the piece or about the artist.
