I got an email blast today from Hamamjian Modern. The plexiglass and wire piece of "art" and the artist's statement are so full of art speak and pretension that I keep thinking of the kid's story "The Emperor's New Clothes." Is there really anything interesting or redeeming about this? I'm not outraged just bored.

I have been attracted to the prevailing stark, contrasting
opposites. A dichotomy that ranges from the ancient and contemporary to
the organic and the mechanical or to the bleak and the brilliant. Seeing
the interaction between the two and of how one
affects the other. How one initiates the transformation of the other.
Initially there is the cutting edge between the two but eventually a
bonding and coexistence of both. My method of working includes playing
with deconstruction and reconstruction. Suspending
layers of images, drawing and porcelains, then reconnecting with wires,
gears and machine parts.
