doarte
I live in New York City and am a practicing artist and educator.
Â
To begin … I have an M.F.A. from the University of Arizona. My academic and professional career include: teaching at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, serving as Director of the renowned 92 ST. Y’s Photography Department in New York City and Executive Director of the Institute for Art and Photographic Resources in Westchester New York and also an Adjunct Professor at New York University.
Other career highlights: I was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and Polaroid chose some my images for its 50th anniversary celebration … POLAROID 50, a collection of 50 leading artists including famous artists as Andy Warhol, Ansel Adams, Cindy Sherman, etc.
My work has appeared internationally in galleries and museums, including the Toyko Metropolitan Museum of Photography, 80 Washington Square Gallery, New York City, Gallerie Mabrie in Paris, France, Lombard Freid Gallery, New York City, The Photographers Gallery London, England, Visage London, England, X+Â Brussels, Belgium Contretype, Brussels, Belgium, Thomans Cohn Gallery Rio de Janerio, Brazil, Foundation Canon Image Center Amsterdam, Art Institute Chicago, Illinios, Caltherine Edelman Gallery Chicago, Illinois, Kara Geneve, Zurich, Switzerland. Baronian -Lambert, Ghent Belgium.

A parallel “passion†for computer art began 15 years ago with 3D image making and the now ancient Photoshop 5 which culminated in QUESTIONS FOR A FETUS … a three-month installation of some 60 digital images sponsored by the Mother Earth Committee of New York City.
And now?  Now there’s doarte’s merry MADHOUSE with its Museum of Unnatural History for mementos past and present, the ODDATORIA Galleries for beasts and beauties, devil dolls and scenes devoted to serenity, a MIDWAY mad for models (fashionable and futuristic, glamorous and ghastly). And of course there is a circus serving divine divas to acrobatic rats … dozens of digital images dedicated to a relief from reality.
But the grandest dream of all … joining with other digital artist to make the computer a respected and important contributor to the world of art … just as the camera did for the world of photography.

Ah, the image Nazi's paid you a visit I see. What I fail to understand is why that image was deleted when there is some truly strange stuff here that's still up. Great image!

I am with you, I can't fathom why anyone could find the image offensive. Both were creative, imaginative and Beautiful works of art that I thought were cleverly and expertly done. I can assure you that if I thought there was anything offensive concerning children, I would have let you know loud and clear. There was nothing wrong with your images and it truly pisses me off that someone would complain. There are strange things going on around here lately. There are those who are so hung up on competition and envious of others work that they will play the game of bad rating with a smile and a few other sneaky things. So sorry the image was pulled and you pulled the other. Wonderful works of art. If I didn't believe it, I wouldn't say it.

Grande informe.Belissima obra. aplausos É lamentável meu amigo, mas infelizmente o mesmo ocorreu comigo, a duas obras atrás Que depois de 2 dias fui comunicado que tinha sido retirado e que eu sofreria as sanções. Já havia mais de 400 viens e em torno de 64 coments. It is lamentable my friend, but unhappily the same happened with me, to two works behind That after 2 days was communicated that had been solitary and that I would suffer the sanctions. There was already more than 400 viens and around 64 coments.

I am with you bro. I've had my second run in with the Rendo police and am really pissed at it as the second "offence" just occured today. I just set up my DA account and will use it more now. Perhaps, one day, I will leave this place. I only lament losing some wonderful artists I've met here if I do. http://starlightpainter.deviantart.com/ On a related side note, I was in also in the process of buying a GC for friends of mine. I was going to do it here when this just happened. I purchased at Daz instead. That was today also. I'm getting really, really, peeved at these self righteous types here. My $0.02 Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. Cheers, Peter.

So far to date I believe I had three render removed. Can't say anything more because the mod's have already warn me about being out spoken and have threaten me with bannishment. This render is awesome 10 + +

I'm very sorry to hear about this. I enjoy your art very much and could not understand how someone could take offense to the image of the twins. Obviously, their mind was where yours was not; the fault lies with them, and for the mods at Rendo who would censor a benign image.

You know, somehow I knew that you would not let that go. I am very glad that you did not and found a way to speak out! This is perfect. First of all it is a wonderful image. And...it says everything that need be said. Both images were beautifully created with such wonderful artistry portrayed. It truly is sad the anyone could not see just that. Certainly that person belongs somewhere else in the world and not here. Pity their thoughts. Creating this thoughtful image in this way is a release for us all. Thank you.

I can't believe this...I had both of those as favs....they were so creative....wonderful pieces of art.....I certainly so nothing pornographic or offensive about either image....and one person's complaint had the power to remove a piece of art??....hmmmm....what happened to freedom of speech(First Amendment rights)oh that's right...we really don't have that anymore...ok...my 2 cents in...I better shut up.....anyway....this is a wonderful piece of art too...sorry you had so many troubles....big ole huggers, Carol

There was noting in those lovely little zebra kids that was pornographic, I refuse to buy characters that look childlike or like a small child as I know this will happen to me too Angela

Juste pour vous soutenir :LA PERSONNE QUI C'EST PLAINTE a vraiment l'esprit fermé ,donc pour moi elle n'as rien à faire sur renderosity!!!!!!!! Je me souviens de votre dessin et il n'avait rien de choquant!! ( c'était un excellent travail!!!!) J'ai déjà vu ici sur le site des dessins bien plus choquant!! A la personne qui c'est plainte je dis juste qu'il y a d'autre site qu'elle y aille donc et qu'elle laisse les formidables artistes faire leur travail!!!! ANTONIO

The way of the world at this time im afraid, in Australia it is a lot worse than this,keep your chin up and persevere.

Hi Wayne :)luckily i downloaded both pictures of the cute twins,your art has nothing to do with pornography, its beautiful and always so excellent executed,I agree with ToniDunlap,this kind of people belongs somewhere else, not here,love what you have created here wonderful expressive art work**Hugzzzzzzzzzz :)
lorddarkwolf
I had several friends over when i viewed the twins pic, and they liked it, they said how gothic and macob the image was. I did not see anything pornographic in anyway with both pics, sounds like someone is a little serious when it comes to rosity. I am sorry that this has happened to a Fantastic artist, it a real shame

Renderosity is of course in the US and although separation of church and state is a law but ignored by church groups they(Rendo) have to abide by the stupid laws no matter how archaic they are. I seen nothing wrong with your image. I avoid posting any nudity except when I get a desire to work with Poser just to avoid any slack.please do not let it influence you into leaving or the crud wins

Excellent artwork! 5+

Love ALL your works ... Antonio.

I saw nothing offensive! They overreact here. Sorry about your TOS problems.
goldie
well that sucks! don't run away, 'cause then those self-righteous hippocrites win...they are neither moral nor the majority...i saw absolutely nothing that was objectionable in either of those images...they were very imaginative and beautiful...this image is perfect to show your feelings...it's beautiful, as is all your work :)
