Bad Text / Bad Poetry / Bad Wordtext extracted from Bad Paintings, the separation of the text from the visual image – Bad Painting
In the evolution of my artistic journey, the Bad Paintings series has undergone a transformative phase. Shifting the focus from painted canvases, I've embarked on a compelling exploration of the extracted texts that once accompanied these visceral visual narratives. These extracted texts, liberated from their visual counterparts, now stand independently as powerful works of art. Stripped from the painted imagery, they reveal a raw linguistic force, confronting viewers with the essence of the narratives that once intertwined seamlessly with the brushstrokes. Each extracted text becomes a linguistic entity, inviting audiences to delve into the depths of our collective reality through the lens of carefully constructed headlines and phrases. This departure from traditional artistic norms challenges the boundaries between visual and linguistic art, opening new avenues for expression. As I continue to delve into this textual realm, the extracted texts take on a life of their own, provoking contemplation, discussion, and a renewed understanding of the interconnectedness of language and perception. This exploration serves not only as a continuation of the Bad Paintings series but as a standalone odyssey into the potency of language as a medium for artistic expression. It is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of art and the endless possibilities that emerge when one ventures beyond the conventional confines of the canvas. about Bad Paintings -- CLICK HERE Slide show
