Dispersal of desire within urban life, working together in a secretive art cabal. To live in a densely populated environment is to be on view while viewing others; to exchange intimate moments with strangers.
Off-the-wall graffiti working together, Concrete jungle art is eloquent of the mode of life, introducing discordant subversive elements. Recalling memories are often blended with narcisism and silly creatures.
The glorification of the superficiality is not the triumph of the artificiality. The sub-genres of collage paintings, art gluing, crazy drawing, silly performance and aesthetic strategy all have their own thought-leaders.
Off-the-wall ideas
The only copper etching print like this being taken seriously would be in a crazy artsy type of way.
If you can't see the writing on the wall, all pictures work together in a secretive artsy cabal dedicated to ruining the urban landscapes with humorous artworks. Foisting whimsical ideas onto impressionable opinion leaders.
