~CHASE HALL . . Q & A on ARTEVISTE |
Posted in The Bomb | By Nancy Smith | January 12th, 2018, 12:17pm
it’s an exceptionally interesting time in the art world. it feels like a page is being turned.
the mainstream art world is shrinking in clout, and rapidly dropping off.
the underground is becoming unwieldly, but within that large mass of impossible dreams, and infinite hopes . . .
a small pool of supremely focused talent – is breaking out.
I really like how the range of expression – is so extreme. intellectually & visually compelling.
you can find heart-breakingly ‘minimal’. . . walking on the conceptual knife’s edge,
to the passionate scientist . . .
to the all-out, far-out ‘expressionist’ wacky.
FROM HAIKU to . . PBS NOVA, to . . SURREALIST GERMAN ROMANTIC !!
that’s some . . pretty tasty, monster sushi roll.
this show, this gallery and the artists it presents . . comes under: heart-breakingly ‘minimal’.
cool, as in knock-dead mentally metallic / graphic. resourceful. one-of-a-kind.
hidden, but in-your-face. cold-hearted.
riding storms that go right over your head, in their ‘sleekness’, and sly nature.
but always, always . . coming right down – on the point-like ‘mark’.
Aztec calendar – is what comes to mind.
