Josef Jobsts portfolio http://www.absolutearts.com/portfolios/c/chromosoph/ The artwork selected for this years Art Inter/National Exhibition is
unified by the concept that the viewer is called upon to determine eachs
artists view of the world and the space we occupy. For example, Chinese
artist Chung Chak is intolerant of judging or labeling people based on
prejudice and stereotypes, but uses these associations to construct
compartmentalized narratives in his large-scale, digital collage artwork.
Chak then leaves it up to the viewer to decide whether or not these
stereotypes are true. Many of the artists selected for participation in
this years Art Inter/National are also attempting to resolve a conflict in
environment. For artist Stephen Marc most of the history that (he) is
invested in, took place on the other side of the country. His role is as a
photographic hunter and gatherer while on the road, and digital weaver and
researcher upon his return home. (Marc Artist Statement) Painter Michele
Bulatovic is an urbanophile, formerly of Pennsylvania, currently wrestling
with suburban life in Texas. For Bulatovic, living in the Lone Star State
has dramatically influenced (her) creative process. Shes been rattled to
her core by her environment, particularly by three of its characteristics:
the sprawling development of the town in which she lives; the sterile
social, political and cultural environment; and the bland landscape. The
first two radically influence the style in which Bulatovic paints, and the
latter influences the subject matter. (Bulatovic Artist Statement) Each of
the 2010 Art Inter/National participants have captured an individual
process of translating their thoughts through visual imagery, ordinary
moments that they experience at various occasions in daily life.

The Art Inter/National Exhibition began in January 2002 with
the concept of exploring space, how the immediate environment impacts the
artistic process and influences what each artist creates. Inspired by the
prestigious Carnegie International, Box Heart Gallery is thrilled to offer
the Pittsburgh community an intimate, yearly alternative. Over 275
entries, from regional, national, and international artists, were received
this year. Of these entries, 20 artists were selected for participation
and 29 works of art in a variety of media will be exhibited. Among those
selected are absolutearts.com Premiere Portfolio artists Josef Jobst and
Reinhardt Soebye.
