Meanwhile, just around a gallery wall corner…

suicidal art
…. art, it appears, is committing suicide.

“ It needs to be dark to be art” – a dark mind.

Social commentary work.

Reflection on the surge in population in the last decade c/w targeted government cuts causing greatly increased pressure on jobs, public services, education, housing and lower-to-middle income in the chronic body crush and ubiquitous omnipresent car/truck rampage that is England 2013.

On an aesthetic level the image presents an interesting abstraction of feathery flux within
a narrowly defined color and tonal range.

“Dada is the revolt of the personality threatened on so many sides, a revolt against levelling, stupidity and destruction. It is the distress cry of creative people against banality” – Richard Huelsenbeck ( one of the five original Dadaists of 1916 )
