The Artist
It all started with our Art Supply Store in a Art District located in the south. The small business focused on our passion for providing professional art supplies to the thriving artists in the area. The owner, JM Hob, understood the other artists and their everyday struggles since the artist had also experienced those same struggles throughout the years as an artist. JM Hob’s art was shown regionally in the area, and the artist's reputation for the knowledge of the mediums became known which helped with the store’s success. During this growth, a new addition came into the family which helped to create the Pen Name, Bonkers. The Pen Name, Bonkers, was a symbol of the Crazy Love for the family and the Arts.
Eventually, the new family addition took the family in a different direction, but the Love for the Arts still grew during these changes. The artist continued with his sculptures and mastered the digital arts during the COVID period. This love also helped to form Created Fun sites that share Fun Products from these creations that are made from the Love for the Arts. Follow us on Social Media to see new creations when they happen!
The Statement
Historically, my interest in art draws from cubism at the beginning of the 20th century and Modern Art of the 21st century. During my Early Years, I was also awed by technology as a parent watching a child grow into their own. In contemporary terms, I have been noted to create images that relate to elements of urban architecture, highlighting areas where people interact with each other in a technical rhythm with their environment. I intended to create a kind of technical architectonic lyricism in much of my work while still combining elements of cubism and deconstructionism and its relationship to my visual world. A change in rhythm can be compared to a change in line, weight, brushstroke, value, and pitch. Though my work has characteristics of abstract art, I encourage my viewers to reexamine material culture through my art; therefore, my abstraction is not non-objective, It is semi-abstraction. In recent years my work has increasingly transitioned into bolder, brighter colors, as a shift in mood and tempo creates digital works or sculptures that originate like plants and flowers interweaving together in my vivid pictorial arena. While incorporating shapes or objects that reference biomorphic still-life in nature, I combine recognizable imagery placed in natural and man-made environments to create colorful shapes that define the world in my eyes. This use of repetitive imagery adds a playful touch reminding the viewer of the playful awe that lies within the world that surrounds us.
