Channeling Duchamp and Rauschenberg perhaps? Art Hobeau is alive and well and living right outside your door! Art with an edge. Created from scratch...society's discarded purchases find a new and better life. Take a look, you may recognize something you threw out.
Art
Hobeau has more in common with Outsider Art and Art Brut than with any other
art movement and although derived from found object street materials and used
house paint or spray paint, it is the impulse to create, to live, to breathe to
make one's territory. in other words, like it or not, it will be created
regardless of how others feel about it, because the people creating it feel
compelled to make it, it is like breathing, like living.
It
is often stuck up on road signs or exterior walls and the art is a form of angst and expression, a need to be made. It is the brother to Graffiti art in
that it is going to be there, it has to be there, as a form of expression.
Often, it is in reaction
to the times it is created in and like cave drawings it depicts a time and
place, a street view of the social and economic times in which it was created.
There are no rules and no criteria. Think of a marriage between folk art and
graffiti, masculine by nature but not limited to just that. The jewels are the
materials found, as if each piece, big or small, creates itself. With a healthy
dose of 'fuck you' thrown in and with its ironic humor, it forces the viewer to
somehow be engaged and react.
