CHANNING SALAZAR 

My visual art practice involves the study of how the image influences the public sphere. This work is driven by multicultural propaganda, iconography, advertisement, narratives, conspiracy theories, ideological subversion, and manifests itself through crafting stylized images with a combination of oil and acrylic paint. My aim is to combine, invert, and subvert art lessons from the past to examine how established techniques and practices can be transformed and propagated into ideological tools. This does not come from an revisionist ideology; rather, it comes from following a tradition of expanding with the conversation of art as it stands.
​

The following series focuses on recontextualizing several historically significant paintings of Johannes Vermeer. The objective was to analyze the cultural implications of the Vermeer paintings and to determine how they fit within a contemporary perspective. It is an examination of how views within middle-class values, philosophy, and religion have shifted, and how Western culture has arguably evolved to now allow and celebrate the individual’s own interpreted reality. This takes shape in these paintings by placing the individual in surreal-abstracted realities.
