Michael G Daniels aka ROSABOYDADON

MICHAEL G. DANIELS AKA ROSABOYDADON (01-15-79)ORIGIN; FLORENCE, SOUTH CAROLINA. BRED; DECATUR, GEORGIA. creates performances and performances. By experimenting with aleatoric processes, Rosaboy wants the viewer to become part of the art as a kind of added component. Rosaboy says that, "art is entertainment to be able to touch the work, as well as to interact with the work is important."

His performances focus on the inability of communication which is used to visualise reality, the attempt of dialogue, the dissonance between form and content and the dysfunctions of language. In short, the lack of clear references are key elements in the work. With the use of appropriated materials which are utilized from day to day context, he approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi layered way, like to involve the viewer in a way that is sometimes physical and believes in the idea of function following form in a work.

His works are characterized by the use of everyday objects in an atmosphere of middle-class mentality in which recognition plays an important role. By investigating language on a meta-level, he presents everyday objects as well as references to texts, painting and architecture. Pompous writing and Utopian constructivist designs are juxtaposed with trivial objects. Categories are subtly reversed.
His works are presented with the aim not to provide an idealistic view but to identify where light and the environment are important. The energy of a place and its emotional and spiritual vibrations are also important. By taking daily life as subjects matter while commenting on the everyday aesthetic of middle class values, he formalizes the coincidental and emphasizes the conscious process of composition that is behind the seemingly random works. The thought processes, which are supposedly private, highly subjective and unfiltered in there references to dream world, are frequently revealed as assemblages.
