about........
Call it shock art. Call it evil art. Call it horror art. Call it controversial art. Call it dark art. Call it weird art. Call it bloody art. Whatever.
This is one of the most shocking works
of art ever created. A sculpture that will provoke intense
emotions in all who view it.
A sculpture that is unlike any ever seen.
It will elicit and provoke a strong
reaction by all who view it.
As an art collector, one of the goals
is to collect art that is beyond the norm.
To collect a work of art that is
extraordinary. You have seen it all, you have it all,
and now, only that which shocks you becomes interesting.
Your associates will marvel, or leave
the room in disgust and terror, upon viewing this work.
They will recoil and question you and
who you are.
They will talk about it to their
friends. They will think about it, and you,
often.
They may even stop to take a selfie
with it. It's yours, and like you,
unforgettable.
You could buy another mansion, or
another Bugatti, and everyone would say “ah that’s nice”, and
then proceed to yawn with boredom at your new possession.
Or you could purchase and own the
extraordinary. This sculpture will always be that, to
all who view it, forever....... extraordinary.
Artist
Statement.
There are moments in ones life, when evil
overwhelms the soul.
My soul, the very depths of my heart, became
overwhelmed by this odious act of evil.
My heart was vexed to an
extreme. Vexed to a point that I conceived of revenge.
My
hatred for this atrociously evil man grew. Though my heart is
soft, and love is my natural state, this evil pressed me
sorely.
Pushing me beyond my normal state, beyond my very self. My
fierce emotions shoved my mind to a coarse and vile wish.
That
this man be paroled under condition, not simply released, as the law
allowed.
Yet I desired for more than a parole for this abominable
man and his deeds. My
heart was violated with the release of a monster criminal.
And I wished for him to have “His Last
Parole”
I am not proud of this sordid emotion. I do not
relish in the crude and unforgiving nature of the heart and mind that
my sculpture expresses. It is revolting and nauseating.
Yet
without recourse or a way to process such evil in my heart, I
sculpted.
I sculpted this most shocking sculpture. I even shocked
myself. Yes it is a shocking piece.
Vivid, graphic, intense,
deliberately violating accepted principles of right and wrong.
The
internal rage when one must helplessly accept the fact that evil is
set free, without condition. This internal rage that was stoking
my anger provoked me to sculpt........
