Artist Statement

"Concrete Rollerz"

New work by LogikOne

New works by artist LogikOne at Ad Hoc Art gallery in the project room. A series of paintings, drawings and a mural installation is the latest body of work by the artist.

The title of this exhibition, "Concrete Rollerz", is the ongoing exploration of Logik's core character, a mangled man, a Negroid type individual caught in an awkward space. Evolving from a sad broken individual to a stronger urban sentinel. Looking for function in the world and finding absurd purpose. A social projection of this identity taking from personal experiences to current and historical moments. Addressing ideas of violence, sex, death, race, urban decay, crime noir, mass media and even science fiction. It's a narrative exploration that sets an urban folklore that Logik finds under bridges and in abandoned freight yards. Caught between comic books and graffiti this metamorphosing direction is imaginative and speaks of a variety of genres. These characters are crude and vogue, with sword wielding vixens that state purpose and power, and thug ninjas hiding in the shadows. Tying together fictional situations he explores the self-referential emotions, a deviant libido, social angst and satire. This artist is fearless and has unrestricted goals of work that speaks of a mission with a meaningful message.

Using an improvisational method nurtured from a graffiti background and an illustrators discipline. A style reflective of sequential art that is explosive with color and decorative design. A graphic style holding the figures and in a raw painterly feel together puts this work in a unique direction that is ahead of the spectrum. Street art styles is a corner stone of Logik's creative background and has participated in the sport for over ten years. Painting freight trains in rural Minnesota to a list of brick walls of many metropolitan cities. It's a driving element that refuses to be forgotten. But, the foundation of this artists work is the sequential art. It's an emotional connection to the fantastic that connects the artist, applying the energy and color to his work. Pulling the whole of fictional characters and looking at the complexities, contradictions, and separations. Refusing to be subtle and creating a definitive ka-boom.

LogikOne a native of Minnesota, a graduate of Minneapolis College of Art and Design, 2001 and an internship at Marvel Comics solidified the artist to live in the concrete jungle of NYC. Which has been a personal journey of challenge and enlightenment maturing the artist with infinite results. A freelance illustrator creating work for a varities of companies from Pepsi to Mecca clothing. Showing in galleries in New York, Brooklyn, West coast galleries and overseas.
