Have you ever seen an Artist ball up a piece of paper and throw it away with vigor and force? Or maybe a painter cut up a canvas or a potter swiftly throw clay off his wheel? If so, you are witnessing, what I call, "Artist Rage." It's when an artist can't get the medium, to perform the way it should.
I used to experience it all the time. I would throw sketches away, stomp canvases, and generally destroy pieces that I was unhappy with upon completion.
However, In my old age, I have since found the value in every dented canvas, bad brushstroke, and glitch in the system. I now value the mistakes and sometimes even though it really is messed up, I can find some beauty in it. There is beauty in the mess. It may time some time to see it and even more time to appreciate and learn from it, but the beauty is there regardless.
I hope you enjoy this solo show.
Thanks,
Eric
