WILLIAM ASKEW (Artist Emor) Synopsis: A Traveling Artist / Wanderlust. I love people, their interest, and their challenges. My work is an embodiment of my travels and the different cultures I've come across. Artist Statement: Artists, are revered and at times even shunned. Art is imperative, to remember our ability to express our experience is the most important of human traits; this is not without recourse. Time has shown the most renowned artists are those who lack or have an overwhelming sense a physical, emotional, or social self-awareness. Each art, each piece of work crafted, carries a new and inspiring philosophy, a way of thinking, a way of relating the unconventional message, to have art, is to unite. Bio: First Gen. Haitian/American, William Askew, is a traveling artist that goes under the painting alias Emor (short for Eatmore), a childhood nickname suited toward my gluttonous nature. I have traveled mainly on the East Coast of the United States, learning much about contemporary culture in the US. I draw inspiration from philosophy, science, electronic entertainment, and today's social construct. The title of "Traveling Artist" is one that transcends space, and is more conceptual, for style.
