Fürst Art Show. January 9, - Dec 31, 2023.
These paintings are the “debut EP”. An opening. A first note. An intentional noise. They are the first “songs” in physical color. They are rough. Stumbling. Raw. Emotional. Searching. Unconcerned with technical acumen but frothing over with energy and desire. They whisper promises. A glint of something. Ghosts, lives, futures, pasts. Of melodies and painful glorious revelations. Of confrontations and final release. Explosions and gentle caresses. Inspirations and surprises. Visions of things percolating since long before noises were ever made on record. A self-created rorschach test for the soul.
““These are the first paintings of mine to be displayed in public. The first pieces to be sold off a wall in a gallery space. They are a promise to myself to share them whatever they are. Maybe there might be more to this “ep”. A hook or two perhaps that are oddly interesting. That might become something wider. Even wilder. Shapes. Characters. Songs. New songs. Old songs. Perhaps, there might be a full “LP” of paintings forming like stars. A glimmer of a vision emerging. A voice. A sound in the paint. Echoes of the untouchable.
This is excitement to me. It is a rush. Remembering the ignorance of rules or of failure. It is the embrace of limitations. In both budget and tools. It is a promising single surrounded now on the walls by the first crop of immature, ambitious experimental “songs”. Songs as images that could eventually make sense. As an album takes shape. As a story emerges.
I hope you’ll give these paintings a “listen”. They might just take me and you somewhere together.””
