ARTISTS STATEMENT
The work of Birds are Nice [BAN](aka Diane Arrieta) utilizes various printmaking techniques with cut vinyl, illustration, sculpture and animation. The work has a distinct urban feel, with a style rooted in the comic book genre, but also has strong early influences from artist like Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and Daisy Youngblood.
The work is used as a communication tool for raising awareness of biological concepts related to biodiversity, species loss, habitat degradation, and the relationship of these things to human health and well-being. Parallel to the environmental topics, much of the work is based on social-political issues, mainly affecting women and children.
Children are a reoccurring theme in the works of Birds Are Nice (BAN). Nietzsche said, “The child is innocence and forgetting, a new beginning, a sport, a self-propelling wheel, a Sacred Yes”. BAN’s work strives for the simplicity of that childhood innocence. The work is visually engaging and allows both adults and children to investigate social and environmental issues without feeling threatened. |
