"Ego Extractor 9000"
36" x 48" (92 X 123 cm)
Oil on constructed wood
The words “Ego Extractor 9000” can be seen in the work. This is one of the first post personalism pieces that I created. I wanted to see if the concept of transcending self-centricity could be translated into an abstract construction concept. It has been my belief that the principles of post personalism can be applied to almost any kind of artistic expression.
In the lower left corner is a recessed area in which a graphical element conveys the words “No Person - No Problem”. This comes from the Eastern philosophical idea that an enlarged persona is always an obstacle in the way of the flow of life. A persona is the artifice that we present to the world. However, if a persona is all that a person knows of themselves, then suffering will inevitably follow because of the absence of a deeper authenticity.
