Dominick 'Buck' Navarra
Dominick Buck Navarra:
A hobo by nature Dominick ‘Buck’ Navarra is one of the few surviving knights of the ‘Furthur’ camp of the 1970′s. Dominick’s spirit and now his art work have always been encapsulating; drawing the viewer in just as his smiling eyes will draw a friend into mischief. I will always be glad of the hot pink star sunglasses in a sea of unknown faces.
Artist’s statement:
My work is about renewal and transformation in several contexts. I work with found material that can come from burned houses, a dumpster, outdoor resources and anywhere else there is to find interesting objects…It is in using these discarded objects that I became increasingly fascinated with the idea of high and low art. It might be said that the work that I do could be considered folk art or low art, considering the aesthetic and content. It might also be said that my work could be considered fine or high art because of my formal training and education. It is this line of push and pull that I am interested in crossing, and merging the gap between aesthetics. I like to think of it in the way that a violin is different from a fiddle. It is the same instrument but one carries a violin in a case and a fiddle in a potato sack.
