Mike Amato
Artist’s Statement:
My work in general deals with a number of issues in postmodern aesthetics — in particular, questions of appropriation, authenticity, and authorship; originality and meaning; and problems involving identity. As you page through the various galleries, additional comments will be available to help open a door into the particular series of works each contains.
Currently, there are six image galleries on this site. Family Album reconsiders the definition of “family”; Lonely Planet Boy deals with issues of identity and control. Nudes features images from an ongoing series. Dear Diary presents images from a series that deals with identity and appearances. Inanimate Objects is from most group of images Works in Progress offers a few miscellaneous images from a number of ongoing or unfinished projects.
