Obtuse

 

One could say in a moment of quiet contemplation there was a spur of momentum that led to the performance of a one night only solo exhibition. A hostile and un-sanctioned gorilla-style takeover of space that was conceived, curated, installed, recorded and dismantled in one fell swoop. Discrete invitations were littered about that night with a successful turn out of no audience. I may have gotten into a bit of trouble for all of this, but what is school but an opportune place to fuck around and find out. Fueled by a berate of juvenile indulgences and ADD medication, this problematic installation is a simple study of acute and obtuse form, with consideration to their conceptual notions but branched into a deep rabbit hole obsession with concepts pertaining to ugliness.

Somewhere in this catalyst cast a long investigation into the use of monochromatic filtration of color to dividing an image into three parts and has thus been my story’s since. To play on dialogues of mechanical figurative painting. Yet, left unfiltered, the remains of the acute-obtuse structure for figurative forms to follow Lurk between the seams of lines. The bowling bulges of bent bodied sniped into acute finger nails that reek of obscurities.
