ABOUT THE ARTWORK

What a Gig! is a painting about the power of music and the deep love for it. Sound is vibration and the frequency of sound communicates to us beyond the explainable. Music makes us live in an atmosphere and live the reality we listen to. The power of sound manipulates the events, sound in fact can be heard even from a deaf person as it penetrates with its vibration. If you feel you can hear and become the sound itself, expressing. Music has always been the starter of new movements, new ways of thinking and seeing the world, and new ways of being on earth. The innovation of sound is fact a scientific discovery. What a gig shows a group of people from all colors and backgrounds making music, with classical and digital instruments. They come together and play, and they all win together to conquer the ultimate highest and newest sound! What a gig! is a praise of the manifestation of sound in all its forms! a video of the work can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lnd5LgkJDkI&ab_channel=Matlakas This work will be delievered unstretched and rolled in a tube.
