         John Miranda Contemporary Artist 

          John Miranda, Is an artist  and native Texan. His primary mediums  are painting and sculpting.  Miranda received his BFA From the university of Texas at Arlington In painting.  Then this artist went on to earn  his MFA at the University of  Texas at Tyler in sculpting. Miranda is now teaching Art in the Fort Worth area. He has been in several shows and,  has had many solo exhibitions such as Pan duce in the Sauce at the Meadows Gallery and solo exhibitions in places like The Foundry.   Miranda's Media site is John Miranda. Art on Instagram. 
         Mirandas art is deeply rooted in his culture. This is quite apparent in his work by his use of color. The art is unique  because he uses encaustic. Encaustic is a lost art or, rarely seen in contemporary art.  The artist uses encaustic in painting and, on his sculptures. This is very eye catching and someone could get lost in viewing the mind blowing kaleidoscope of colors.  His sculptures are made from sculpted wood, metals, and found objects. Miranda gathers all his materials and then sketches out the piece he wants to create. Then the artist creates,  refines, and molds these materials  beautifully into multifid  works of art. These works appear to be autonomous human forms with a hint of genders. These art forms are hand painted and coated  with encaustic wax. Miranda melts the wax and mixes it with pigments himself.   This Hispanic artist uses colors to symbolize his Hispanic American heritage and this with  his craftmanship  bring his pieces to life.

 New work and vision  Side ways  These pieces will be incorporated together. This orange image above    is the first image of a lino-cut reduction. This plate will have a total of around five drops with the last pull of coarse being black. I do tend to layer on top also we will see where that leads me with an ah-ha  moment. The ceramic pieces will fit into the narrative of the print where the viewer will be lead to a meaning but not told. I work with the idea of feeling of being invisible and seen but not heard. These pieces will also deal with body dysmorphia. These are specific and particular forms of abusive. I am in hopes that others will connect with their own experiences as I do. I hope you enjoy my work !

Art of Arts Lisa Batchelder

   Print making  as an artist we all have things we love to hate and our own trials . One of the biggest things as an artist we face is the vision of what is in our minds eye that we want to create verses the gap of what we actually make with our hands.   Our vision verses reality and as artist we struggle and claw to close the gap. This is where I am with printmaking the beautiful struggle of the minds eye and closing the gap.   Lisa Batchelder Ominous Blue Tentacles    Reductive, relief, print  with French posh ware and chin'colle  40x30in (2020). This is piece has hand carved lino-cut pieces, on an acid etched background with  French posh ware, then Chin colle paper for the final drop.   Pieces like this are tedious and time consuming. THE PROCESS;  FIRST take a piece of linoleum cut it size . You must then ware P.P.E. . It takes lye crystals, spritzes of drain cleaner and water.  Make sure...
