Description

We are plugged into the world. We consume more than we need. We have to stop think, breathe. Filled with a punk ethic, breaking down the traditional line to a scrawl, break free from the traditional concept of beauty. Unplug yourself from material things.

This was an experiment: a loose juxtaposition of the freedom of punk but the tightness and sharpness of playing. I painted while listening to the Erase Errata album Night Life – it has a punk esthetic but really tight hypnotic style. Really bombastic erratic and sharp. The title is trying to tell people to stop buying things they don’t need. Replacing the unbroken. The painting has a ‘repaired’ feel to it. Not clean. As if its been repaired over time.
