One of the initial efforts of The Victori Museum to preserve and gain exposure for the predominantly unshared collection of a less than recognized post-modern school of art, as well as the thousands of works done by a single man over a 50 year career. The man is Victor Victori and the Victori Museum was established by other individuals as a means of sharing the collections and communicating its meaning to the world. Victori's methods draw from various old masters and countless inspirations. His dynamism is clearly visible in the extensive bodies of works which sometimes veer into unique styles in and of themselves. However Victori's primary theme is to represent the truth via his work, which is more dominantly portrayed through his creation of Multiplism - a way of representing truth by depicting the landscape of both time and the human psyche in single pieces of work. Victori was born on August 15, 1943 as the third of six children in a small farming village outside of Seoul, South Korea. His father, a peach farmer and Mayor of their small town during the Korean war, intended for his son to take over the farm, however Victori had aspirations to explore his artistic passions. After serving a few years in the Air Force, he left South Korea in 1969 and traveled through Europe spending most of his time studying the works of Rembrandt, Michaelangelo, Da Vinci, and Picasso. Much of his skill was honed while living in the small art district in Paris -- Montmartre, before he re-directed his journey to the U.S. After arriving in New York City in 1972, Victori undertook his largest project up until that point -- a mural of all the U.S. It was delivered to the Nixon White House in 1973 and remains there to this day. During the 70's and 80's Victori traveled the country working mostly as a portrait artist doing various art shows, exhibitions, and private commissions. His identity often fluctuated between celebrity status and starving artist. He eventually landed his own gallery presence on Park Avenue in New York City that would last the greater part of the 90's decade. Victori's career and experience in portrait work spanned much of his adult life, however he still managed to focus on developing a unique and divergent method of painting; a method that essentially layers what is seen in a single portrait and incites a deeper perception of his paintings' subjects. Having gazed upon so many thousands of faces during his career, Victori realized that a single instance of time frozen in a portrait hides the multiple moods, emotions, and states of mind concealed behind that stationary, fixed expression. "Multiplism", as he coined it, reveals the many behind the one, unfolding all possible dimensions of a being in one multi-faceted piece of work. Victori began developing this style of art in the 1970s and continues to evolve its meaning, composition, and grandeur to this day. He is father to five grown sons and currently works out of his private studios with his wife Maria. For more information, visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Victori
