AP3 - DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR (COVER ART)

BY....damian leyba.

[alfielaneart]

A feature on the InterSekt website.

InterSekt is an art creative with, comprised of lesser known ‘underdog’ artists and creatives. This article is from their 2018 December Spotlight, which I read through and found some interesting artists to inform my practise:

​Steven Johnson Leyba:

This artist is a shamanistic painter who creates both very personal but also political and radical artworks. He takes a mixed media approach, using paint, collage, beadwork and DNA to communicate statements about our current world. The work above explores the reclamation of the swastika, as well as implementing hints Buddhist motifs and eye and hand symbols.

He creates a number of handmade books. One of these was ‘Monsanto (2010-2011). It was produced through a series of rituals and blood rites and a live piece performing death curse against the corporation. He recently performed a death curse against Nestle, responding to the corporations attempts to bottle water from California. He, alongside a number of other artists, created a church of art, the  Coyotel Church. According to this Vice article, the work

“takes a legacy of occult and magical influences, and retranslates it through an open hostility to brands and corporate entities.”

https://www.vice.com/en/article/gvw87b/meet-the-artistsoccultists-channeling-the-death-of-monsanto

The article comments further on the intended meaning of the work:

“lurching beyond the overly ritualized text of social media posts are actual rituals, far less common in this day and age. Whether because of our increased existence in virtual space, or a cultural over-reliance on the written word, we seem to have stepped away from the act itself. The pics, as it were, are more important than the happening.”

The ideas being communicated in this artist is similar to mine. I want to attempt to develop my mixed-media and paint application further to create a more textured, worn-down look to my work, with the aim of opposing corporate entities. Using printed images alongside thick layers of paint could be a good method to try out for this. I also want to look into how I can be more ambitious with my work and the themes, looking into occult rituals and potential spells or passages/diagrams from religious texts to use as visual inspiration. I could also make this easier by choosing a number of topics to focus on solely for each artwork, being more specific about the issues I tackle rather than broader and consequently less effective communication to my audience.

FROM my 4Th hand made book COYOTE AMERIKA, page #22; " A-Hole of (Introspection of) The World" 16"x 14" oil over acrylic over collage on paper with glass beads. 1999. I was traditionally trained in beadwork by two Native American women who because of the nature of my art wish to be anonymous. Abstract Expressionism had a big influence on me in my teenage years which helped to give me inspiration and use beadwork in a new way as a painter would, using beads as texture, shape and line instead of always for motifs and symbols. My work is just as much sculpture as painting. Also in the old Master tradition of Master- apprentice I am a descendent of sculptor Rodin (The Thinker , Gates of Hell) which helped me to see and use beads as a sculptor would. My work is often transgressive and outrageous as Dali said, " 99% outrage and 1% respectability. Often times people say of my work ,," Leyba you have gone too far!" Of which I reply, " but that is the only place I have wanted to go." rather than corporate and art world defined narratives. One should trust a Master artist in their visions rather than enslave them by what is popular. This published in my book COYOTE SATAN AMERIKA by Last Gasp. #handmadebooks #environmentalart #oldmasters #artistsbooks #booksofleyba #indianartists #beadworks #stillife #leybaesque #politicalartwork #occultartist #satanicartwork #contemporaryart #visionaryart #radicalart #highart #highartinlowplaces #shadowwork #trueartist #trueart #coyotel #coyotelchurch #tst #thesatanictemple #modernsculpture #rodin #transgressive #transgressiveart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl1Z60RrkKQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
