VISION STATEMENT

~ Johnes Ruta

The goal in my public work is to develop a visual vocabulary which reflects the positive criteria of creative originality & culture, technical and aesthetic qualities, and the inherent depth of forms and themes.

As an independent curator, I do whatever I can to bring about greater cultural exchange, awareness, acceptance and enthusiasm for the arts. My vision is to apply the experience of my travels to art museums and galleries around the US and Europe, as well as my studies, to create an international center for the arts in New Haven. This center would offer programs in art history and appreciation, and bring artists’ work from abroad to the US, and would offer US artists the opportunity to see their work exported to foreign venues and recognition.

The historical parallel between science and creative culture is a continuing evolution. I support the avant garde and non-linear expressions in contemporary art, but remain fascinated by the recurrent themes found especially in periods of technological or intellectual transition -- such as the parallels of Classical and Renaissance advances in astronomy, medicine, and transportation, with those in music, the visual arts, and philosophy. -- Inspired by my namesake, the Roman Janus, I try to look into the distant future to see the eventualities of the inner human psyche; and into the past, through which a Light-Stream of creative expressions has illuminated a path of human survival, thought, and dignity : the forces of preservation, aesthetics, and Enlightenment -- against decay and intolerance.
