Dean Warren
Dean has lived in Central Florida for twenty years and has worked for the
Disney World theme park as an artistic curator since 1980. Originally from
Minneapolis, Warren grew up living in Massachusetts, Texas and Louisiana. He
has exhibited extensively in Central Florida at art centers such as Harris
House of Atlantic Center for the Arts, Mount Dora Center for the Arts and at
many universities including University of Central Florida and University of
Tampa. He is listed in ‘Who’s Who in America’, as well as
‘Who’s Who in the World.’
Warren is of Nordic descent and readily acknowledges a Scandinavian influence
in his art. His mixed-media ‘Symbolic Constructions’ often take
reference to primitive sleds or shelters that utilize his homegrown bamboo.
These works often use feathers, leather and twine, mixed with items collected
by his wife at flea markets and thrift stores. His current works are a series
of wooden staffs that continue to display this Nordic influence. |
Dean ha vissuto nel Central
Florida per venti anni ed ha lavorato per la Disney World come curatore
artistico di parchi fin dal 1980. Originario di Minneapolis, Warren ha vissuto
nel Massachusettes, Texas e in Louisianna. Ha tenuto esibizioni in numerose
gallerie e musei del Central Florida tra le quali Harris House of Atlanic
Center for the Arts, Mount Dora Center for the Arts, e in molte
universita’ come University of Central Florida e l’ University of
Tampa. Ha partecipato ad importanti manifestazioni come “Who’s Who in
America” e “Who’s Who in the World”.
Warren e’ discendente da famiglia originaria della Scandinavia e questo
traspare nella sua arte. Il suo media-misto “Simbolic Construction”
prende spunto da primitive slitte o da costruzioni fatte col bambu. Nei suoi
lavori spesso usa penne, pelle e spago e recupera altri materiali poveri al
mercato delle pulci, o nei negozi molto economici. I suoi lavori piu attuali
evidenziano le sue origini Nordiche, sopratutto dall’ utilizzo di certi
materiali. |
