JEAN-FRANCOIS PODEVIN BRINGS HIS STOCHASTICON'S TO THE CENTRAL COAST
San Luis Obispo, CA- Jean-Francois Podevin will be on the Central Coast to demonstrate more of his fantastical art and show us what it is like to live in a world where thinking and working outside the proverbial box is common place.
The show, titled "Left of Time" will feature Podevin's word image machines he calls Stochasticon's. The show's reception will be Saturday December 3rd at 6pm. It will run through to Saturday January 14th and is o be held at artMinds studio, located at 560 Higuera Street Suite A, San Luis Obispo, CA.
J.F. Podevin's work is about "illusions of time and memories". He will be introducing "Meanwhile"; an image device that never tells the same story twice. The show will also revisit "Lost Oceans", a device which displays an unlimited combination of images. "Lost Oceans" explores the inexorable passing of time, the essence of memory, the longing of separation and in so, allowing the viewer to find solace and beauty in these human experiences. The show will also be previewing samples of an upcoming opus, titled "Composite Memories". .J.F. Podevin was raised and educated in Paris where he completed school at the Ecole Superieure d'Arts Graphiques. His editorial illustration's spans some 2,500 assignments and has graced the covers of Time, Scientific American, Business Week, Omni and The Washington Post, to name a few. His work can be seen on the current cover of Scientific American MIND, aptly titled the "chaos of consciousness". He resides in California with his wife and two sons. His artwork in all of its forms is a beautiful and harmonious meld of fantasy and reality. In a biography written about Podevin authored by Carm Goode, he writes: "…his work has been characterized as being intriguing, mysterious, and ominous, a door to be unlocked.' There quite literally is no `key' here but rather, a set of intuitions that have been artfully conveyed." A truth only to be comprehended when one sees J.F.Podevin's work.
