ART MEDIUM:
Mixed Media
ARTIST'S STATEMENT:
Doughlas Remy creates abstract 3-D mixed-media wall-art composed of fused glass and resin with selections of other materials such as hydrocal (plaster), acrylics, dyes, fabrics, and metal. For each work, the artist constructs a custom frame that extends the colors and themes of the core composition. These works show the artist's pure delight with color, texture, form, and pattern, and they rarely evoke anything from the "real" world other than moods. But each one opens up a virtual space for the viewer's imagination to roam.
ARTIST'S BIOGRAPHY:
Doughlas Remy earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Louisiana State University, where he studied art history, specializing in the art of the Renaissance. He did not begin to paint until several years after graduation, when he created a series of large abstract acrylic works while living in the Middle East. In the mid-eighties, Doughlas became interested in the art of assemblage but was unable to set up a studio (with the necessary storage) for another ten years, after moving to the Northwest. His first assemblages were composed mainly of found objects and industrial surplus, but he gradually began to fashion his own objects and to work with glass, plaster, foil, dyes, paints, fabrics, and other materials. Doughlas Remy has exhibited his work in more than 60 venues in the Northwest, including the Contemporary Crafts Gallery (Portland) and the Bellevue Arts Museum.
