- THE POET'S SPLEEN - Painting

Informed by Jackson Pollock's late studies of native American art and his appropriation of a technique that, originally, Janet Sobel started before him: drip painting, JK~Noir is an artist working on new approaches to this technique by means of experimentation. Drawing far away from all that blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah that blah, from blah to blah, as JK~Noir is what JK~Noir does. The resulting works walk a fine line between figuration and abstraction, intention and accident, precision and randomness, clarity and enigma, process and result; making his work not so easily misunderstood with so much blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, not entirely sure of what all this blah blah blah means or what blah blah blah adds up to the question. Because ultimately what you see is what you get and -it doesn't get any better than this-. And by allowing impulsive lines and drips to occur, even to fail, everything that happens remains as if made in one single stroke: Japanese calligraphy style! Therefore nothing is eliminated and there is no chance to repeat, erase, rewind or recreate the same movements with the same results. In other words, as if all this talkative blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah had nothing to do with his craft at all, but yet, making it longer to unleash its real powers, just to make a simple point across: how during the actual process. painting becomes but an attempt to capture the evasive nature of reality, by dripping the paint or drip painting, in the poetry of failure. The rest is Blah Blah Blah... -JK~Noir CONTACT: w.a.orlando.r.v@gmail.com http://cargocollective.com/orlandorv/
