Issue Zero Ontological Ratatouille
OR is an independent, unapologetic and irreverent publication without an established periodicity. Its foremost ambition is to articulate the questions so many of us ask ourselves as we frantically collect jpegs at the end of time: What is Art and what is its significance? What is it worth? Why are we collecting? And other challenging questions, ranging from the epistemological to the downright uncomfortable.
Abstract Memories
I try to explore the unknown nature of objects in an emotional abstraction. Instead of imposing an entirely personal feeling on the canvas, I draw something out of the canvas with the tools of expressive abstraction and color contrast. The content of an abstract painting completely bypasses all those mental filters. Abstract painting is the revelation of the inner life of the human soul; it transforms from words to visual identity. The abstract painting speaks the language of the imaginary world, a language that struggles with complexities.
