> STATEMENT
John Fekner (b. NYC), is a street and multimedia artist, who in the 1970s created hundreds of environmental and
conceptual outdoor works consisting of stenciled words, symbols, dates
and icons spray painted throughout New York.
Fekner's output includes paintings, cast paper reliefs, video, audio
and performance works, sculpture, and computer-generated work.
Throughout his thirty-year career in the arts, Fekner has made a
commitment within his work by consistently addressing issues that
demonstrate an interest involving concepts of perception and
transformation, as well as specific environmental and sociological
concerns such as urban decay, greed, chemical pollutants, mass media and Native American Indians. Fekner creates multiple versions of work in entirely different
media and will use whatever means are necessary to communicate a vision
or message, and whose work changes as that vision expands.
