About the Item

Altman's mixed-media series, “Stripped,” explores the concept of fragmentation leading to wholeness. As an outsider artist, his practice utilizes painting, collage and assemblage, often including using vintage source images from the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. Utilizing thrift store ephemera, he collages and paints multiple small works. Then, he tears apart these completed pieces, intuitively reassembling them onto a larger piece, often using horizontal, layered linework. This creates an infinite field of spontaneous compositions, some harmonious and some disparate. Altman’s practice often includes using vintage source images from the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. “It’s an era that elicits Anemoia, or the nostalgia for a time one never experienced. It was the first time that the tears in the American fabric started to show, including civil unrest and creative exploration that awakened popular youth culture. We never reckoned with it, thus are still feeling the effects today. This disillusionment of the American Dream remains a consistent theme in my work which can be seen in both the figurative paintings and abstraction.”
