Nevermore

synopsis

The quick and instinctive process of action painting creates a large-format black-and-white picture whose splatters, splashes, scratches, drips, and brush strokes bring to life excerpts from the poem The Raven, which – like a magic incantation amidst an abstract chaos of sounds and words – accompanies the artist’s inimitable physical performance.

Images of a concentrated face, a tin can, and paint-covered fingers. A venose hand that guides the paint dripping from the wooden spatula. The squinting eyes of an open mind. The pace quickens, and the urgency of the voice increases the tension of the creative moment blessed by the work of art.
