Artist's Comments
The original vision for came whilst I was in Venice during Xmas 2004 inspired by the architecture and crowds. I then added a few details from an abandoned plan called ’neurotic vanity’ to fill out the piece. Due to the delay between planning and execution the finished version had little in common with the initial plan. I aimed for a style and mood in between Matta’s ‘The Disasters of Mysticism’ and the art collective ‘Rockgroup’ but in the end it came out nothing like either. The text is a quote from the Indonesian writer Y.B. Mangunwijaya "You might not see things yet on the surface, but underground, it's already on fire" which I thought fitted the piece quite well. The message/meaning of the art on the whole is open to interpretation due to the final version straying so much from the plan.

This work seems so ecclectic, yet strangely purposeful... I'm hard-pressed to pull an exact meaning from it, but enjoyment I'm getting aplenty! The dazzling mixture of colors, shapes, and textures really makes this a kick to look at. I like both the tube-like effect of the majority of the picture combined with the serene night sky in the top right corner. But, somehow, that strip of spotted fur-like texture seems awfully misplaced... I can't really explain, but it just seems to interrupt the flow as my eyes are drawn around the work.
