"Skepticism, as a disposition, arises from desire, not contempt." – Anon.
THE NEW WAY
“…Something in my mind shifted to the other extreme, suggesting infinitely dimensioned space ...but then, it was all a metaphor of desperation. Truly and simply, I did not understand anything about it. I had only a growing feeling – pattern-conditioned? Instinctive? – that I had to pass through this maze to gain the new degree of power that I sought.”
– Roger Zelazny's Amber Chronicles [paraphrased]

STATEMENT
A meditation on the waning days of western metaphysics via the art-historical trope of the harlequin—this time re-imagined as a Black Metal-music reveler. These are corpse painted figures imbibing in a bacchanal of alcohol and religious euphoria. They are the Freudian Id, loosed and drunk with a mal-appropriated spirituality.
Using structures of iconic, Christian painting and the illuminated manuscript, the work endeavors to create a confluence of reverence and irreverence. These paintings strive to depict a desire for meaning, faced with the fear that meaning has ultimately receded in our world.
Think of it as a gnostic conversation (albeit a drunken conversation) ...an "after party" of civilization's metaphysical/religious beliefs.
Or, perhaps Kabuki theatre; masks dancing an inebriated prayer.
Cheers to us all!
