Autumn Skies

Tides
Rides rebound that spin moon cursed of water marks or tread the wet sand that sinks dry the hallo's feet beat bitten by motioned retreat that trail luminations wake of shores penned that churning the rasping grate or the reef sliced drawl is spewn hapless beneath the loosened rows of colliding fret creeps lurk the inlet that's clenched cold as this water carrier this floundering currents scar may shallow the weightless shadow but whirl hidden and is drawn from the ghost of th

Downstream
Why does the faceless wind-tree listen to river's quiver cascade the twists into skies of flecks valley's that invade our times can rusk and rain and pollute stained flow ? How trucked are long passengers the fractured dark that shift and crack the mirrored pole ? Yet pale is the dawn of wails and careless grow that hump where once exhumed the grave buried inside the silent glow

Mapping
Window grips tapping fallen contours grind sibilant prowling triuteries vents slide gnawing animal shrill of filing grains gruelling down-gutters flushed painted waste braced nip grip tentacles caustic on trampled flay under the scurried chase trodden croak bones crack the wheeze flax ropes of boiled skies by ripping the throat just thunder soaked drenched in disguise furrowed map contours rain weave fuel the seeping drains that blind gush gashing the crust and snort craving

Rootless Hands

Hands to Mouth
Blurred wind of tentacles of rain trails streams upon that dropped slate of that merciless paint that nips the gloveless hand bespeckles the whim herd lying with the tech from splattered lands to the fingerprint of stain to run and fetch where the Art connives where the honest pain isn't the dishonest bland ? The soaring blame the curve headless always all buried in sand

The Hollies
Stilled moment rain silent your breathe quake the light deafens the birdless and winds of the growl I stare at the thunder conceal the skies and make shore the haul when moments inside the closing door to shut the noise to fall with the kind carry the hope tuck all that's left in feigned disguise

AI, at last.
Finally we've developed AI to reach humanities capacity to compete by math, by high tech, by science and by instant creativity. Now we can upgrade humanity's potential and unlock the 80% of the human brain that each human does not use. About time ! ..and thanks for the upgrade AI. At last the chance to ensure human diversity and celebrate the human advantage of imperfection by programming AI and ultimately encouraging it to be self-aware and fully up to date with our massiv

Westminster Dialogue

Gordon whom? R- His royal highness Gordon Brown S- I never knew he was part of the Royal family!? R-

Leap of Faith
How powerful is an institution in denial? TATT advocates for a post-realist world of culture but can't envisage it being painted on a canvas!! Today it is the gen 'Z,' and tomorrow it will be the gen 'A', is there anything that would lead to believe in repetition, or in the extracting yourself from the tramlines of enforcing the cyber age, digital revolution, social media (which now has a certain appeal to teenagers to post their rebellion), or chat bots?!! So, do you thin

Democracy
Democracy, like human nature and thus like Painting, is not perfect. Paintings represent not just the representative nature of Renaissance Art of classic Roman/Grecian type but have realised that there are permutations of life in its compelling and constantly evolving departure from expectations and assumptions. Surely it reminds us of what we share and what divides us. furthermore, the world has emerged from the mind-fog of 1991 to today, but with all the supercomputers of

Hold On To Your Brushes
Is the Painting medium finished or burnt-out and at the end of a cul-de-sac of originality? No! That would be folly. Demotion by TATT ironically put Painting in an inadvertent path to the avant-garde of Art today! Digital and tech Art in general has only been subjected to a drone culture of cheap but very well-connected derivative visual and sensorial interaction with bling! But could Painting bring back Art beyond the elitism of Art Collages' dictatorship of patronizing

Complex confrontational era
We live in a complex confrontational era of conventional war under the last resort of the nuclear age. We also live in an age of migration , both those fleeing for their lives as civilians or invading militaries, no longer relying upon cyber hacking, social media junkyism, where we have relaxed upon our own western smugness and complacency of the Berlin wall being breached and AI and all our firewalls being invaded. Relativism has been succeeded by plundering idealism in ord

Pragmatic adherence to scruples
I have no moral scruples that would stop me from asset stripping 19th century philosophies that have both accelerated or retarded us from taking away what I think is relevant to me then, now and in the future. It is not simply a utilitarian perspective because I have no interest in joining or belonging to an ideological construct from between the eras of Jane Austin and Charles Dickens. Furthermore, I won't take any lectures from relativists and dogmatics but prefer to be a

Freedom (2)
Freedom to and freedom against, will always be the keystone of every challenge to the status quo against TATT. Indeed, Painters have been very fortuitous when exiled from mainstream Art elite by 1985, in fact it allowed 'the medium' to not be overlooked whilst it found the pressure point and departure angle to free itself from centralised control and get on with the job of self-invention. Was it ever 'burnt-out' or in a form cul-de-sac? Of course not ! Painting had been give

Freedom
The key to acknowledging Painting today is that you have to embark on a self-invention dilemma. Perhaps it may appear "regressive, factionalistic, egotistical and self-satisfied, bourgeois indulgence"..... have you heard this rhetoric before ? Yes you have, it is out of the Marxist-lenin ist copybook ! Well, apart from Nationalistic forms of that ideology today in China and North Korea, the rest is finished !!! Not only old fossils like the USSR, but also the various post-m

Sky spinning out the sol star
How the sky spinning out the sol star when that giant molester corners the clearance of the skies this radiant seething dinosaur tempts and taunts and smears an expressionist spotlight interrogating each victim of the winged killer.where its leering poison so fired upon the flesh that flayed ripple seers across the scuffed sand. Is it always honing in on barely half-baked buried amidst the detritus for unripe wrinkles of mellow youthful burn ? Perhaps because of the sun ragin
