Artist Bio
Don Manderson earned an AA at Pensacola State College, a BFA at Florida Atlantic University and an MFA at Florida State University. After completing his MFA he worked as an art and computer instructor in the Escambia School District, Pensacola, Florida and as an adjunct computer graphics instructor at Pensacola State College. Don is now a full time computer graphics artist and is showing in nationally juried shows. His “digital montage” work exhibits influences of his Asian art history studies, his formal training in expressionist painting techniques, and his propensity for use of surreal imagery to effect social comment.
Artist Statement
My work examines the simultaneous and insistent nature of the human sensory experience in a society that is increasingly technical and transitory. This is exemplified by society’s expectations for individuals to simultaneously process and act on input from multiple digital and analog sources while experiencing the spectrum of human interactions (conversation, advertisement, entertainment, social media, education, art, journalism, etc.). The imagery in my work is inspired by my subconscious and dream state attempts to reconcile this relentless sensory bombardment, which often distorts important social and political information. The resulting digital montages present multiple translucent image layers that interact visually and metaphorically requiring viewers to infer a piece's social and/or political narrative in a manner that is reminiscent of their own simultaneous sensory experiences.
