Time with the Artist Nick A. Demos

Biography: Nick A Demos July 29, 1950 Atlanta, Georgia: Nick A Demos took his first art class at age 4 from the Atlanta Artists Center then located in the Hattie High House on the land that High Museum would later be built. Nick attended Georgia State University where he met Joseph Perrin head of the Art Department. where Nick studied. Nick earned a Bachelors degree from Georgia State University and a Masters degree from the University of Georgia. Nick lived in California for several years and began doing found object art. When Nick returned to Georgia, he reconnected with Professor Emeritus Joseph Perrin from Georgia State University. Nick was mentored by Joseph Perrin in his private studio from 1990 to 2002. This is where Nick developed Neo-symbolism into paintings Most people think of Symbols as things or movements: the new symbols or Neo-symbolism as I have defined it are words. The world was spoken into existence from nothing by speaking the word. The published definition of Neo-symbolism in September of 2004 is " Words juxtaposed to words and letters within those words". This creates a powerful statement greater than just the meaning conveyed by the original words. Woven into our language are clues to this revealed knowledge and wisdom. Art most often has been associated with Painting, where in the word Paint is the word screaming at one in clear sight is the word PAIN. The belief that pain is at or pain propels the artist into self examination and the examination of their world and presentation and to understand the pain and heal the wound. The Fluidity and Power of Words is almost incomprehensible until you begin examining the words you use in clear sight all the time, in your language and advertising and even in the names people have and the careers and directions their life takes.Art happens and text in art, especially looking at neo-symbolism's defines presentation as a way of understanding the role words play in our life and shaping of direction, that it becomes art, so that your perception of the world and words in your world changes. This is Art, where you see words elevated to a new level so that your perception of the world has been permanently altered. Neo-symbolism began as a hand made book of 50 word pictures.
