Get Physical

Oil on canvas, 50 x 40 cm and oil on paper, 76 x 56 cm, 2015

This is not painting just as a reference to its own self-absorbed entity. There are no zombies playing magical maracas. This is painting as a physical being in the world, part of its mess, and part of its beauty. This is not painting as a mystical matter. This is an everyday matter that certainly, absolutely and positively matters: talks back and watches back, demands attention and provides appetite.

And, then, well, what about the physical and the narrative? For that, lets get down to it – lets get into details of the details. Let’s get physical, let’s get particular, lets get moving. 

Can you hear it, too? Get down on it, get down on it.
