DONALD YATOMI
Artist Statement
"My work is about the industrial mundane, the urbanized deserts and the metropolis serenity. It is very interesting, to me, to witness the ironies of deafening mobilization and sentimental stillness interlaced within highly developed and overcrowded cities. My ideas examine the notions of alienation vs. congregation that occurs at a particular point in time, in very specific locations. It is not urban development itself that I am inevitably drawn to, but rather to the paradoxes of every social encounter and human isolation in the midst of urban development. It is about transportation. It is about transactions. It is about stoic epiphanies. These vast negative spaces and almost monolithic icons evoke much deducing within my memory, becoming abstractions and reminiscences that are so intriguing!
My greatest influence comes from Willem de Kooning, Chuck Close and Antonio Tapies."
