Open House Features New Book by Ho Baron
Click on image to enlarge.
Friends and neighbors, fellow artists, kindred
spirits,
I’ve written and published a book about my
sculpture, “Gods for Future Religions.” Although the book is
already available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, its official release will
take place at my open house Sunday, February 24, 1-5pm. The event is a
book signing, and I invite all to visit, only to purchase the book if you wish
but also to see a collection of figurative, surreal sculptures that’s a trip to
experience. The book itself is a colorful work of art, and it sells for
$19.95. Also I’d like you to see my “Dysfunctional Family Tree,” a
new work in progress.
I’ve spent 30 years
creating a collection of 300 sculptures. My book weaves a story of a
mythical kingdom where my sculptures play Jungian archetypal roles.
Personal anecdotes and observations enhance the narrative, while the book also
highlights samples of my earlier pen-and-ink drawings and experimental drawing
photographs.
“Illuminated by the artist’s engaging insight,” one
book reviewer noted. He labeled the book “part monograph, part manifesto”
and in a flattering stretch described me as “H. R. Giger meets Keith
Haring.” “Baron’s title, although meant to be tongue-in-cheek, signifies
the cosmic nature of his art. His pieces appear as if they were discovered
among the ruins of some Mesoamerican tribe theorized to have communicated with
extraterrestrial beings.”
I hope to see you Sunday, otherwise look for me on
Amazon or Barnes and Noble. When the world’s had enough of its existing
gods, it’ll need new ones . . . and with my sculptures, I’m ready! - Ho Baron
