PHRASISM and THE PHRASIST MOVEMENT
Originated In The Work Of Randy Pijoan

Most recently Randy Pijoan has originated a way to convey the social
interaction of people at this turn of the hectic 21st Century. Randy's new
term Phrasism evolved from his conversations with Poet Jonathan Allen.
Jonathan said that the paintings reminded him of visual Haiku poetry, and
that they serve as phrases, as from poems, or ‘distilled snap-shots of
poetic phrasing,’ as they capture moments in the lives of hurried,  
nameless people going about their lives. These ideas, plus
correspondence with other artists, such as playwrights, photographers
and sculptors soon resulted in a completely new body of work described
in The Phrasist Manifesto. The movement was launched in the first
national traveling show of Phrasism in 2001, and included invitations to
other national artists, poets and writers selected for their cutting edge
work in and around the Phrasist design concepts.

Phrasist concepts in the manifesto include the following artistic
components: eliminating the horizon line in all works, to better represent
the other half of our lives that interacts with those views. Showing
aspects of realism as a complete abstract reality that is without non-
representational expressionistic overtones, as well as embracing the
majority of our lives that continues to be un-posed, random and ever
moving; always oriented toward the destination yet never relaxing into
one place for very long.
Seven years after its conception in Randy Pijoan’s visual art, Phrasism
has appeared in plays, movies and in the work of many other artists
throughout the country. Now Pijoan’s work has once again pushed the
envelope of what exactly defines Phrasism, with his most recent show at
the Peterson Gallery in Santa Fe. He has currently been experimenting
with new ways of pushing all the elements of Phrasist design and
composition, in some of the largest and smallest paintings of his career.

Pijoan explains, “Phrasism has always been about a portrait of an event,
and never about the person; gambling on the fact that even within this
‘snap-shot world’ we can indeed find the beauty and paradox of a true
realism yet unnoticed by the masses or the casual viewer.
