Love this guy, love all the cryptic music and ceremony behind this. The whining of children in the crowd almost seems a part of it. I wonder if he makes his own brushes? If I had a backup orchestra like this, Lord knows what all kinds of paintings I might achieve.
Look at the white not the back all the time like I can see a goat smoking a roman senturin helmet under that there's a bird with butterfly around it being chased by a dragon so much emotion in such few strokes
I'd love to do this as a job, mop & bucket and work on peoples lounge walls and then charge them 50,000 pounds for the installation, better than any Damien Hirst.
To me, overall, it looks like a mushroom cloud from an atomic bomb, although the black blob in the upper right looks like a figure (perhaps a spirit?) and the upper left white area looks like a dragon head, open hand, or just fire, to me anyway. I feel like references to the atomic bomb and its atrocities show up relatively often in Japanese art. But this is all my opinion, don't know for sure. I did get a warlike feeling from the beginning of this piece, though
I have been wondering what it would be like to dip a cat in a bucket of paint and slap it against a canvas three times. I will have to wait for the year of the cat.
