About The Artwork
This painting was awarded the Gold Medal at the 32nd Gala of CAPSQ, Montreal, QC ( Artists Organization since 1985) The painting is telling the story of the clown. One about his existential condition, a marginal one, hanging somehow between the acts of others like between foreign worlds, between the suppression of an action and the mere answer to one. Or better said, his actions themselves are always in a reactive state, either we think about the clown doing his act between the shows of the other main artists at the circus or the clown figure at the noble courts, where, even if close to the noble, king or emperor, he was a mere protrusion of the truth through its hilarious acts and not the voice of the truth. One that would have been real, only had the others have accounted of it seriously. It's the idea of a truth that is a joke not only in disguise, but as its true nature, a truth that is born through its own parody and it is so ridiculous that it cannot possibly matter for more than a laugh or a push away. But the duality of this clown figure continues. The marginal condition is always in balance with another one, the one of the mysterious transition between worlds and words, which strengthens his existential fiber and empowers him quite much. Perhaps from here the fascination for clowns, altogether with the fear, uneasiness, anxiety or repulsion sometimes. The limits of their behaviour are different from our limits of perceiving it, that's where the hilarious comes from. And we don't have to forget how all this conundrum of dualities reflects on the clown. In this painting, the clown is turning his head towards the viewer, while still with his back towards us. Almost shy, scared, his eyes are a fountain of repressed fears..still wanting your presence and attention, but ready to leave, behind the veil of his treacherous condition. On the other side, his coat is full of symbols, which are strikingly different in their variety, created to make noise when touching them with our look , to attract, to provoke the eye, to de-condition the perception of the beholder. The painting has a certain 3D effect that is made to increase the potency of these noisy toy-symbols. The name of the painting, following from all these existential dualities, is The Psychedelic Clown - 24x24 inch (2015).

My artist name is SORiaN. My art is called SORiaN ArT....An art about courage and sincerity. I have named my painting method philosophical surrealism. As a painter, my focus is into the abstract, the conceptual, the surreal. Archetypes, ideas, metaphors of this world and the vastness of the soul are the seeds and the pillars of the stories that I am telling in my paintings. They demand the participation of the observer, to dive inside them, to embrace them in order to eyewitness this emerging new world. As a poet, the philosophy is my nourishing ground. I write philosophical poetry to illuminate our darkest and dearest of nights, the night of life with the candor of the liberated seeker, grasping at every slice of light and life, until the day of our awakening. My poems are about what seems to be in our sight, but mostly hides at the edge of our eye, they are about the truth in our un-admitted lies and the freedom we silently crave for in the shadow of our defeats. They are about the presence, about the now and here in everything and the endurance to walk this path. The merge of these two worlds gives birth to a new dimension, where the depth, tension and sharpness of un-imprisoned thought are igniting the worldly egos, the selves and the gods into new kind of awareness and perception. My art is the guiding path into this higher and more, it is the living into the state of getting closer to the finality of our questions, it is the act of not walking away and turning the back to our battles, our turmoil and our dreams. My art has the power to bring you back to life. You are all invited to fully participate into this new realization of our cosmos. My background in art and philosophy gives to this attempt a distinctive perspective. Through my paintings and my poems I will be your guide in this new world. Look again at this world through my art like through a magical crystal and find a new connection with your own intimacy, your prejudices, your shame and guilt, your safe zones and your dark demons lurking behind our precious convenience. Thank you! SORiaN
