CJ HungermanArtist Statement of Interest Hungerman – rrastudio24@yahoo.com cj-hungerman.squarespace.com Successful pieces of public art begin with the idea of collaboration. The desire of unity in our community is the base abstract concept I use in all my work. I do this to demonstrate the way all of us can interact with each other as we traverse through the friction of life. The lyrical design, color, or flow of the way humans are constructed at a cellular level is reflected with these organic shapes and vibrant colors. Each person is engineered the same way and turns out unique. We are all different shapes, sizes, and colors. The variety of shapes and colors I use in my work reflect those differences abstractly in each harmonious piece. The content of all my art reaches out with splashes of paint and lines of communication to all. The color choices are fun, uplifting, with an excited feeling of joy and love. When people are happy they gush with jubilant emotions and conversations. I abstractly depict those emotions, ideas, and interactions in my art. There is nothing more satisfying and creative than paring my artistic style and form with the ideas of the commissioning party. The joy of working with others, groups or individuals, has a fantastic effect on the design for the intended space. As you will see in my submitted images I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of different communities. Each opportunity allowed me to create a meaningful piece of art that expressed the desired concept. On some projects I used my abstract art to convey the communities theme in the RFQ and others I was given specific images and icons as in the Abrahamic Center for Cultural Education project to create the design for the space. Other projects like the one I am currently creating for the Bline in Chicago, I work with people and kids from the community. It is a pleasure to interact with people of all professions and backgrounds. I learn new things about different cultures and apply those influences to my art. I utilize stencils and projectors to create the design on the wall. I purchase high quality UV protected paint and UV protected sealers. After the mural is dry I put a final 2-part coat of Anti-Graffiti sealer on the art. If the mural is defaced the damaged area can be fixed simply by cleaning it off with a towel and water or a light cleaner such as Windex. With the Anti-Graffiti sealer on the wall it can be cleaned as often as desired. My goal for this project is to create an original piece of art based on my abstract icons and vibrant colors that will attract people to come in and explore the area. Every time my art is experienced new things are discovered.

Budget- CJ Hungerman rrastudio24@yahoo.com = $1,130.70 = $864.73 = $307.08 Miscellaneous art supplies for on site needs = $1000 Travel and Lodging = $3000 On site Insurance if needed = $2000 Scissor Lift Rental =$0 Artist Fee for mural = $2,697.49 Total for paint supplies, travel, lodging, insurance and artist fee =$11,000 All fees are negotiable and supplies can be purchased from local vendors if requested. Two notable examples of my work with large budgets are the Chinatown Library and the Abrahamic Center for Cultural Education. The Chinatown Library was a stipend of $20,500 and completed in 19 days. The Abrahamic Center for Cultural Education commission was $32,000 and completed in 14 days. I utilize stencils and projectors to create the design on the wall. I purchase high quality UV protected paint and UV protected sealers. After the mural is dry I put a final 2-part coat of Anti-Graffiti sealer on the art. If the mural is defaced the damaged area can be fixed simply by cleaning it off with a towel and water or a light cleaner such as Windex. With the Anti-Graffiti sealer on the wall it can be cleaned as often as desired. When I am awarded a commission I will stay on site until it is complete. A wall and pillars the size of this project will take approximately 10 to 15 days depending on weather and if there are any time constraints when I am allowed to be on site. I am completely accessible 24 hours a day when on location. I believe that experiencing art should be a joyful event in order to allow people to be pulled out of their moment and asked to evaluate not only the art but also how it affects them.
