Van Gogh: If you can
draw like this why do you paint like that?
See that, that preconception as to “art” and what the
right and wrongs of art. Just because I have push boundaries I have discovered
a new technique I don’t fit in a category, as someone like Picasso which will instinctively
be known as the creator of cubism I don’t want be a category, I don’t want to
fit I want to make viewers think, I want to change perceptions and for doing
that I have been scrutinised. I wasn’t trying to prove or disprove my ability I
am an artist I express what I feel I make what I feel is necessary and I
document what is important and although my art is conceived as “controversial”
due to my abuse and incompetent way of handling a paintbrush, I don’t care what
the critics think or say about my work, its meaningful to me, it holds a raw
sense of emotion that quite frankly your works lacks.
Pollock: You’ve been into art all your life have you never
wanted to let out steam show the world the real anxiety you felt?
Not all emotion have to be straight forward, you work is
seen as disgusting horrible abusing to people eyes, so why would I want people
to think that about my work, art is important to me I have done for as long as
I can remember and no art or mine is empty and emotionless, they all have a
hidden message, I like to coat my emotions in layers and layers of paint, I
don’t want my real emotion to be read like a book. Don’t you dare to sit there
and say that my work doesn’t contain any emotions, I have been though dark period
in my life I have severed from sever mood swings and depression so don’t sit
there and tell me there your “dribble” work is an extreme expression of
emotion.
Van Gogh: So I still don’t feel like you have answered my
question, why do you paint like a baby?
It’s called paint dribbling.
I know I can draw well, but I didn’t feel like that was portraying the
emotion that I was conveying, I wasted something that would properly show the
world my feeling I wanted people to read me, and I also believe that when I am
paint dribbling I have to get into the work I interact with the work on another
level compared to just drawing on paper, when it comes to dribbling I have to
properly kneel and lean into my work. So
every work I create has me in it and although to some people it might just be
dribble stops to a huge scale to me I know that it me in those spots. On the floor I am more at ease, I feel nearer, more a part of
the painting, since this way I can walk around in it, work from the four sides
and be literally `in' the painting.
Pollock: I don’t understand why you despise my work, when we
both have a similar energy in our work and you manipulate the paint in the same
visual way as me just not the same technique?
The
thing that I hate about your work is you have no control, yeah you manipulate
the work with sticks and knives, but you have no say it what happens in your
work its chance and I hate that, I despise not having control over something
that I love. Yeah I may have the same schizophrenic energy that both our works
contain but that will naturally happen I am an isolated artist that has had to work
hard for what I do from a young age. I suffer from sever mood swings and anxiety
and depression issues and you suffer from alcoholism. We were both destining to reflect the same
energy in our works. But don’t compare my work to yours is worthless, it’s not
art it’s not new it doesn’t reflect a different sense of emotion it shows
nothing it means nothing.
