The title of this artwork is a quote from a piece of poster in the bottom right corner of the artwork. I was struck by this quote. It reminds of the fast paced society we live in and the lack of time that is being spend in finding ones real purpose in life. There is so much more to life than most of us live for. We are so much more than mere consumers. Time to break free. This is the feeling I’m trying to capture in this artwork. Urban camouflage ski mask mixed media collage made from posters sourced mostly in the streets of Amsterdam mixed with trash, comicbook clippings and pieces from a found adult magazine. This artwork is part of a series of skimasks. I choose the skimask silhouette because to me it is an icon of the times that we live in with men in skimasks on the news constantly.

Perishable Rush (Netherlands, 1975) is a street artist in the broadest sense of the word. He finds his inspiration and materials by having a good look around when he is outside, always on the lookout for a story that needs be told and how that should be done. He uses perishable materials to create abstracts for the docile masses. The artist always finds himself amazed about things such as banality, aggression, war, anonymity, commerce and the vulgarity of contemporary media. Perishable Rush attempted to visualise this amazement in his work to show the world its true face and, more importantly, to show what is lurking behind that. To do this he roams the streets of European cities on foot or by bike with a large shopping bag in hand that he fills up with the trash from human manifestations during his trips. His current preference is thick layers of weathered posters that he peels off layer by layer, in much the same manner as he does in his work relating to human behaviour and the spirit of the times they originated from. By doing so, he hopes to find new answers to his questions on human behaviour and a world in which apathy and acceptance are closely related. Perishable Rush believes in the beauty of a world in which backgrounds, faces and perspectives together constitute a harmonious whole. That conception is directly reflected in his work as well as in the materials and techniques he uses. Literally. The poster layers he peeled off and the resulting meticulously accrued and constructed portraits have evolved from ‘ski mask’ through ‘balaclava’ to ‘Batman’. His silkscreen prints serve as a basis for the portraits. His portrait collages consist of a minimalist interplay of lines of carefully torn and glued paper with laser-cut refined nuances. “What I do with the portraits is I peel off the excess, layer by layer, to get to the true essence. I leave out any unnecessary lines,” Perishable Rush says. Together they constitute the facial image of today’s multicultural society and the questions raised on this subject by the artist. With his expressive portraits, Perishable Rush aims to draw viewers into the image that inspired him so that they can join him in his quest for answers to questions, in the form of trash used as material composed of the same layers as human conduct. New images emerge by continuously sampling, mixing, editing and rearranging his material.
