"Thankful" Perspective of an Artist: Dos Tres

On Thankful In our world of uncertainty and peril I express thanks for the healing power of art. The artist journey is reflection.. a moment, an arrival, a survival.. An old family painting is serenity… a situation, a memory, a loss.. A mobile teaches balance, yet on the way poses affront, an attack.. collapsing into a chaotic dangling tangle of despair.. then sorrow somehow morphs into rising newfound purpose.. Entering Getty’s Rotunda I’m drawn into a magnificent artist’s trap: One small perfect pencil line begs another, then another even better, then an arc greater still.. until they fill.. ten tablets?!! Growth.. art is expansion beyond toxic illness.. paralyzed fingers grateful for the healing power of art medicine and the medicine bringers.. Dylan’s prescription is vision, perception, honesty.. depth of character.. The art student learns perspective.. a quiet chapel on a hill.. a distant tree horizon.. Art’s salve is a taste, a feeling, a color.. the scent of a vanishing moment

We at the Van Hook Foundation are pleased that Dos Tres is participating in our show "THANKFUL" during this season of gratitude. This is a resident of Inglewood and thus also represents our selection of featured artists for the Inglewood Open Studios which happens every year, just before the Thanksgiving Holidays. Dos Tres is an artist we met in Inglewood and have followed the course of his career since 2008.
