IslANDs - Painterly Experiments & Exploded Sculptures

sparkle the imagination through animated formations which
bypass the capacity and limit of my own imagination. From
the perspective of art history, art that is indeed telepathically
made, by default nobody is present at its dangerous
making, signifies a progressive step in the post modern ”end
game” of sculptural practice. The use of military power is a
novel approach to art making, an additional expansion of
domain. Why not tap into those forces ofsociety for positive
development that gulp up large part of the world’s income.
Lastly, I welcome the accidental nature of my explosive art
making and the necessary redefinition of aesthetics. Our
lives and destinies are much more governed by coincidences,
accidents and the irrational than most of us ever dare to
admit.
What were the initial international reactions to this form?
My explosive installations have caused quite a media spectacle
and opened up new ways and viewpoints of discussing art
in journalistic and art professional media. Of course, this art
form, where I use various charges of dynamite to create and
control installations the same way a traditional painter uses
various color mixes as a tool while a painting has left a lot
of people confused in their search for obvious content and
meaning.
From the very beginning I have always maintained that my
exploded pieces are “embryonic architecture” architectural
seeds of freedom and democracy waiting manifestation. Now
I’m truly making “exploded buildings” in many places. large
and small. Structures that majestically open up as enchanted
flowers to their users.
Your favorite pieces and why?
One should never have to distinguish between their children.
My work today, after years of practice, is at heart in its modus
operandi one seamless web, a family of interconnected
creations where as part of the whole each thing has a purpose
serving the larger philosophical whole as to create some unity
of thought.
In this light I see my paintings, who are a testimony to the
invisible dynamic forces that shape our societies as building
blueprints and finally, my free and chaotic steel sculptures,
exploded or not, as architectural models, my videos as
detail documents. All these factors magically lead to and
contribute to the creation of architectural wonders, gracefully
manifesting the place of architecture as the divine mothers
of the arts and a catalyst for creativity and positive social
change.
