Statement:
New Locality

“New Locality” project is intended to expose the identity of contemporary man in the era of cultural globalization, technological revolution and biological distortion.
It consists of several independent canvasses, which are also complementary of each other. Computer generated digital animations are transferred on hexagonal surfaces of canvas by oil paint. By combining principle of surrealistic spontaneity and artistic independence by computer and adding industrial aesthetics of Pop Art I am trying to find new perspectives for painting.
Digital technologies ease working with images greatly. Every new thing gives birth to yet another one. New forms of art reject those social behaviors, which are subject to improvement but are slowed down due to conformity. By combining traditional and contemporary techniques I am trying to explore possible coexistence of the new and the old, as well as the artificial and the natural.
An artist using different creative principles is similar to a viewer who looks at his own creation by someone else’s eyes. The desire for giving freedom to material changes hierarchic, vertical relations to horizontal ones with equal communicative capability. This is based on the conviction that every object is autonomous and has not been created to serve man.
In canvases presented in the “New Locality” project recycling of material has also important significance. Migration of images from the internet to the personal computer, and from there to the canvases at the studio and back again to the internet, reiterate the significance of flexible relocation and waste-less productivity of contemporary society. The new media by mixing with natural materials create organic fusion, which seems to soften the nationalistic fears of loss of identity inherited from the agriculture age.
Contemporary artist by means of contemporary archeology and communications creates the history of man from stone-age to date. This new multi-cultural and chronological art is frightening and fascinating at the same time. It shows us the inevitable future of the mankind. In difference from apocalyptic myths of vernacular codes of ethics, new locality creates new stories of rescuing the world.
In this project by showing the processes of contemporary cultural diffusion I try to ask whether industrial progress has resulted in expansion of man’s territorial dominance, or the man himself has been subjected to absolute domination of the world of his own creation.

Vita / Lebenslauf:
David Kareyan was born in 1973. His childhood passed in Darpas village of Northern Armenia. In 1980 he moved to Yerevan with his parents. Studied in Panos Terlemezyan Art College, later in Yerevan Fine Art Academy (1990–1996).

In 1996 he co-founded “Act” group. In their works of 1993–2000 those artists used to emphasize new media, observing the art as a process for political activism, experimentation of cultural amortization and expanding of bounds of art. In exhibitions, held in 1993–2000 in the Center of Contemporary Innovative Art, he emphasized analyzes of post-Soviet social and political cataclysms and overcoming the atmosphere of fear, trying to exit from the cultural isolation and total social control.

His multi-screen video performance “No Return” in Eva Khachatryan's cooperation was presented in Armenian pavilion of 50th Venice Biennial. In 51st Venice Biennial in 2005 he presented “Resistance through Art” project.

Since 2003 he prefers personal approach in art. His recent project, “New locality“ is a synthesis of new medias and traditional materials. He believes that for him it is important “Affirmative images,” showing the naturalness of artificiality and defending the value of life.
