I know that you have seen it, the guiding words of my own art philosophy "Destroy conventions, destroy beauty" I mean you must have seen it in my signiture at some point, and perhaps some of you think that it means that I am "aganst" beauty, well that is not what I would say about it! Bel;ieve me, I believe in beauty, I have married a beautiful woman, and I appreciate beautiful things. Sometiems even I listen to beautiful music. Even in the "traditional" way that can be beautiful.
But what bothers to me is that there are so many beautiful things, so many kinds of beautiful things, and some things are beautiful in ways that others "don't notice." you see, it is easy to create something beautifful when you are traveling a path, doing something that has been done before. I am sorry, but the way to paint a beautiful landscape, or beaituful woman is something that can be learned, that lots of people know. Nothhing wrong with that, but it seems to me that for most people beauty is jus a matter of going to point b from point A connecting the dots of where the things should go.
That's not so with me, that's what I mean when I say "destroy beauty" I mean "deconstruct it!" go to the first foundational parts and tear it a part, put it back together in a new way. Sometimes it will not work, and what you get will be simply ugly, and there is something noble about that, but one time in a million in a rare point of inspiration, you will create something that is beatuiful in a new way -- that has never been seen before. Thats' what I want to do, is to create a new kind of beuty, I don't look down on the artist who dose it the old fasihion way, but I personally want to reinvent beauty every time I create some thing that is to be beautiful. Put a new face on it. The artists who are truly great can show us sompthing that we have never seen before, yet it is beautiful. That's my opinion anyways.
