ART- The Son of the Cardboard Jungle, Vol 2, 1999 - 2004
(2015 Shelf Unbound, Self Publishers Award, "The Cardboard Jungle" Series) " Multi-focused, self-taught American artist RR VAGNINI was born in Europe in 1959 and educated there and in Langley, Virginia. He first evinced drawing talent at age five, and his commitment to doing art was born a few years later, after he discovered an ancient votary statue in the woods near his Athens, Greece home. A prodigious body of past and recent work, The Cardboard Jungle Series, aptly illustrates this artists commitment to exploring the unusual. A 1500+ piece series (started in the late 1980's and continuing with the 4th Volume in progress) executed in simple materials (cardboard, newsprint, "found" images, etc.), The Cardboard Jungle comprises subject matter ranging from portraits of celebrities and musicians to scathing attacks on politics and society and a fearful look at the dark underside of modern life. Emotionally charged and fully capable of shocking, The Cardboard Jungle originally began as an experiment in techniques and conceptions for the artist’s exclusive enjoyment but quickly attracted the attention of his inner circle of admirers for the dynamism and spontaneity the series the series embodies. The Cardboard Jungle engages, amuses, challenges, and ultimately enlightens the viewer. VAGNINI’s huge portfolio is a chronicle of experimentation with color and application technique and is in international collections and he numbers several corporate and private commissions in his prodigious output. Though historically an infrequent exhibitor, RR VAGNINI has shown on both coasts. He spends half the year composing and constructing collage and the other half exploring abstract painting. He is an artist who aggressively seeks to engage his viewer in an aesthetic dialogue, with profound sociopolitical implications." - S. Tyner
