Donovan's installation concept at The ART Mission is directed toward the dislocation of the field stone from its traditional context by placing it in one where it must be considered for its own sculptural and aesthetic merits.

"In recent years I have been making figurative bas-reliefs. I draw cement figures with gloved hands. When these figures are lifesize or larger, I strech my own body as I draw, in a kind of gestural dance. As I work I am aware of being within the installation. When the work is completed, viewers are also within this space, standing alongside the figures."

"Each picture is a separate venture. A seed of mulled-over thought is set out in a work surface. It is cultivated, stirred up, eradicated. A stain is left there in the ground. It persists, insists on growing. I take up residence in the surface with that trace of color, and do what I can to help the developing image gather substance."

My most recent acrylic paintings reflect an interest in commercial and artistic modes of cultural mediation. These organic/inorganic compositions are partially inspired by Art Nouveau, digital and graphic design aesthetics as well as forms of mass-produced, synthetic products. For example, cyber imagery particular to its "artificial clarity," pixelation and uniformity of surface, is a source material for my painting style. Keeping such influences in mind, I merge expressionist gesture and hard-edged unmodulated paint languages to create a collage-like aesthetic. Both conventions suggest flatness through a modernist accentuation of the shallow Picture plane. While creating a superficial vacillation of parts, I hope to challenge and also exaggerate the indexical and mechanistic appearance of each respective approach. Meanwhile, the Pop-inspired palette of my paintings looks mostly artificial, so that the colors seem to be without referent or source in nature. My color compositions are based upon the chromatic strangeness of computer screens, chemicals, plastic and the muted values of domestic interiors.
