Last year I started a series of works attempting to depict some Frank Zappa guitar solos. That was slow working and hard working, too. I was lucky to escape to China for the end of the season. Coming back, all had changed. The musical structures became the housing of memories of the Lao Shan mountains resulting in works of transcendence. In his painting, musical structures of a guitar solo by Zappa, performed in St. Etienne, house a view from Lao Shan, passing through burning eyes and dry wildlife around Taiqing Gong to the almost unseen Yellow Sea. It by this acquires a spiritual, Taoist dimension. Just by playing with words I allways called it Tian Shan, Celestial Mountains. The work is performed on MDF and by this heavy by weight. It needs a solid wall and two well fixed screw to hang. It comes in a protective crate made by the author. The work has passed it's half-year drying period. The anthracite area top - one third left still has some haptic stickiness, that may remain for longer. This is due to the experimental use of a painting agent and doesn't affect visual quality or the possibility of dust removal.

As honest as possible, with all wits and senses, towards a surprising imagery off the beaten tracks. German artist and musician Christian Kabuß studied Medicine before he went on to Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee, Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia and Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design Budapest. The artistic language within his paintings is linked to a phenomenological approach to bodiliness, the freedom of the subconscious, and the theoretical and practical considerations of Design. Kabuß has exhibited in Germany and abroad. His works are present in regional, national and international collections. Like his art, his music is freely played and portrays a sense of a parallel-world.
