Artist creates tension through photo-like art
Reviewer
By LEROY JOHNSTON
"I if knew what they meant, I probably wouldn't do them," artist Tim Skaas said. "I would never draw these drawings 'Fraerie Studies.' An odd thing for an artist to say, especially a realist whose graphite drawings look like textured paper." "It's not that we don't know what they mean, who does?"
Sakka, professor of art at Emporia State University, said his drawings, now showing at the 7E7 Gallery, TE. 7th St., through May to resemble photographs for a definite release.
"I work from photographs, striving for the tension that comes from wondering whether it's a photograph or a drawing. I'm trying to exploit that photo image."
or example, Saska recently completed a series of 18 paintings, based on James Joyce's novel *Ulysses*, which serve both as illustrations to the reactions to the book but also as illustrations.
"I attempted to approximate his stream-of-consciousness technique." Saak said, "using shifting points of view and a range of different styles within the same painting.
Sasaka's drawing of Kansas should enjoy a wide acceptance by those who wish to have an aestheticly pleasant view of the state. His drawings function best when viewed as illustrations, removed from any complex legic, working simply as images.
At the Gallery
because to me part of making art is raising questions," he said.
ASKED IF copying photograph was art,
Saskatchewan. "I'm jumping in the middle of
the road."
"I'm saying the thing no one expects. The 20th century might be asking whether the answer is yes."
Saskia, 42, seems to be trying to liken his work to the photorealists, a group of artists who capture images in photographic format curatively as possible in paint. One way his work is achieved is in the steps of fidelity with which he creates images.
Saska has simplified and stylized his pictures with a flat, high-contrast drawing style usually associated with illustration, leaving the picture without much of its original redeeming qualities. Would it bother him to be called an illustrator?
"YES. TO ME that connotes commercial, shallow type of art," he said.
But Saska said he was now working on an "image and poetic essay on the prairie" with John Somer, professor of English at Emporia State University. The drawings in the show, he said, will be used as illustrations in the book.
Saska also has paintings in the show, which are more stylized than the drawings and suffer in comparison. Saska said that although the drawings were originally meant to be studies, they had become the final product.
"There's something very nice about a drawing. It has a preciousness, an intimacy, and of course it's less expensive to buy."
SASKA'S HONESTY is the commercial aspects of his drawings ("They're selling really well," he said) is refreshing when it comes forward, because his work is completely commercial and illustrative. His work provides proof of this in his past work.
