Unknown Artist is an ongoing multifaceted series of works in video art, photography, installation, and social media examining depictions of fictional visual artist characters in film and television. Since 2019, I have researched and archived over 216 feature films and 275 episodes of television spanning decades of fictionalized representations of the artist in entertainment media. Collectively, they reveal how artists are characterized and mythologized; how these representations inform a cultural and overly romanticized understanding of who the artist is while mirroring a dominant fantasy of the artist as white, male, obsessed, and suffering. Delving into the clichéd stereotypes and re-historicization, I am working on a multifaceted series of works under this rubric. Each work takes a unique formal approach to the material and functions as its own thematic volume within the larger series titled Unknown Artist.
