About me: LOADED ART! is a product of creative expression through awareness for social change.
Established soon after the 2004 presidential elections LOADED ART! is art for change not for profit. Backed by punk ideals and fueled by the lack of activism that exists among the art scene as a whole LOADED ART! is an on-going body of political/social mixed media wall sculptures that reflect our current events. For the past 4 years the focus has been heavily political due to the U.S.’s current world position.
Conceptual protests carried out by an unique means of creative expression to reach a diverse group of people is one of the main functions of LOADED ART!. LOADED ART! has no boundaries, anywhere and everywhere are exhibition opportunities. Other artists and galleries are encouraged to adopt the attitude of art for change not profit.
“If Jasper Johns had never lived, the artist who styles himself Joroko would have had to invent him, if only to destroy him. Joroko's sculptural relief ''Flags and Numbers'' paraphrases Johns directly, without apology. ''5W30,'' with its pendant mask rim, padding and dipstick projections annihilates Robert Rauschenberg as well, but more in homage than in anger.”
