Contemporary Art, Energy, Nature
McNease--Contemporary Abstract Artist
The Further We Distance Ourselves From Nature, The Greater Will Be Our Fears, And Thus, Our
Beliefs
Intelligence As An Assigned Value............Relative Only To The Particular Organism And The
Manner In Which It Functions Within Its' Niche With Function As A Life Sustaining, Thus Evolving Process................Utilization
Of That Sustaining Process As Needed With Changes Occurring Also As Needed Or Required(Adaptation-Creation-Evolution)..............Art
As A Process Within That Function Defines The Particular Organism And Its' Role At A Particular Time(And For That Matter,
Space)............It As A Sustaining Process Reflects, Signals, Creative Adaptation And Thus Continuance...........Often
A Single Tree -- Earth Day
Artist Of The "Future" Will Need No Process..............Idea And Manifestation Thereof Will
Be Transmitted By Mind.....Energy Of Mind................Easy To See The Primitive Precursors To This Throughout The Arts.............Video,
Installation, Word, Etc............That "Future" Does Not Include Us As We Presently Exist(Impossibility)............No, That
Organism Will Evolve From Us, Our Stock, Or, Depressingly From My Human Perspective, From Whatever Occupies Our Niche..............But
Evolve It Will..........And It Is Total Excitement To Think About The Possibilities Ahead In Art............Indeed...........In
Life
Little Honey Bee.............One Of The Most Beneficial Species On This Planet.............Started
His Evolution, According To Fossil Record, 35 Million Years Ago, (Compared To Homo sapiens, A Newcomer, Starting Only 200,000
Years Ago--Homo Itself, Starting Less Than 2 Million Years) So Probably Much Longer...........And When That Little Fellow
Started Producing His Art, The Honeycomb, So Long Ago(My Perspective), He Started From Scratch With An Open, Exposed,
Single Comb And Developed It To What It Is Today(He Ain't Finished Yet).........And He Continues To Develop, To Evolve, To
Sustain This Magnificent Planet........Could There Be A Higher Purpose In Life?...................So Our Art Is Extraordinarily
Recent, By Record 35,000 Years(Little Fat Fertility Figures), No Doubt More Due To Survivability Of Materials..................And
In Viewing Its' History, One Must Notice The Relatively Slow Development Of Art Over The Years...............Unlike The Honey
Bee, We, Us, Humans, For Some Reason Set Up Roadblocks In The Advancement Of Any Art Form(Correct Me If I Am Wrong)..........Our
Minds Seem To Insist On Finiteness, Correctness And The Limited Sphere Of Known And Understood.............Why We View Anything
"Outside The Box" As Incorrect(Threat?), Incomprehensible, Thus Invalid, Is Anathema..............We Should Be Flourishing,
Creating, Developing, Evolving................We Should Be Living Within This Universe And On This Earth As One Of Many Creatures
Actively Pursuing A Symphonic Trail Of Unabated, Unhindered Creation.................(We Should Be Creatng A "New" Planet,
Not Destroying It!)............Perhaps We Should Drop This Elevated Opinion Of Ourselves And Listen To Our Equal, The Simple
Little Honey Bee

Neo Expressionism--The Feral Image
Survival Of The Fittest..........What Idiot Came Up WIth That?(Actually Not Darwin But English
Philosopher Herbert Spencer--Term Really Not Used Or Applicable).........No, It Is Survival Of The Finest(Under Aegis Of Natural
Selection).....An Organism Which Will React And Grow With Its' Environment Much As The True Artist Must Evolve, Grow, Create
Anew Each Waking Moment............The Evolutionary Trail Is Full Of Millions, If Not Billions, Of Species(Dinosaurs Most
Notable) Quite Fit For Planetary Habitation.............It Is The Species Which Can Adapt To Change With The Ability
To Change Itself Which Is Successful........That Is The Art Of Nature, The Nature Of Art
Abstract Art -- Non Objective Painting
Contemporary Artist--Environmental Expressionism
Speciation(Systematics)-Natural Selection........Not A Lot Of "Wiggle Room" In Those Simple
Natural Formulae..............It Is A Reciprocal Process(Source To Organism, Organism To Source), One "Feeding" Off The Other..........The
True Artist Returns As Much(Hopefully More) As Is Given, Thus Insuring Viability Of The Species It Represents
True "Value" In Art Rest In Idea, Not In Process, Representation Or Icon..............It Is
Idea Which Evolves, Sustains And Energy Contained Within That Idea Which Continues Viability Of An Organism, An Artist
History Repeating Itself.............How Often Does One Hear Or Read That?.............The
Statement Is Unique To Us.............Cannot Be Applied To Nature.............Nature "Takes Care" Of Her Mistakes, Swiftly
And Irrevocably.........Corrects Them...................And Continues Creating And Evolving............She Is In The Process
Of Correcting One Of Her Mistakes Now..............Not A Negative Statement...........That Is Nature............Evolve With
Nature, Or, Perish
Yes, It Is The "End Of The World" As We Know it..........It Is During Evolution's Moments Of
Silence That One Should Take Heed........For It Moves Inexorably To Causality And Manifestation In Myriad Forms...............Things
Are Observable Now(There All Along If We Had But Looked).........Climate Changes, Population Growth, Stress And Aberrant Behavior,
Diseases And On And On And..............Must Be Endlessly Repetitive In Proclaiming This...........Urgency Exist..........Experiences
Ahead Will Be Shattering To Some............But In Nature's Purview, Necessary To The Survival Of The Planet And Its' Inhabitants(And
Inhabitants Yet To Be)..........Art No Doubt Will Take A Greater And Greater Part In Chronicling This Period...........In
Many Forms, Many Expressions...........How That Will "Play Out" Is Up To One Thing--Natural Determinism.............Nature
Will Utilize The Constructive, The Useful...............The Remainder Will Be Discarded To The Realm Of The Nonexistent
If You Knew You Were Destroying Something Beautiful, Something As Wonderful As This Little
Planet, Her Environment, Her Inhabitants, Wouldn't You Immediately Stop?.............Wouldn't You Immediately Change
Your Ways, Your Lifestyle, And Actively Search For Ways To Not Just Alleviate The Strain We Place On This World But To Give
Back More Than Received?........Would You Kill Your Child, Your Neighbor, Stranger Or Any Other Living Thing On This Planet
Without Very Good Reason(Food)?............You Are!......And Now, It Must Be Said, It Has Become Intentional
Through Total Neglect Of Responsibility..........Before, Perhaps Our Assault On This Planet, On Nature, Could Be Considered
An Unintentional, Uninformed Mistake............Now, With Knowledge And Observable Environmental Changes, We Have No
Excuse..............We Are The Solution To What Should Never Have Been A Global Problem...........One Easily Corrected By
Immediate And Urgent Action(Without Compromise!)....Are We At The Point Now That Our Actions Could Be Considered Criminal
Ones?................Perhaps Even Intentional Neglect Leading To Our Own Self-Imposed Genocide?
