On my drive back home last night, I had this idea of doing a collage and paint series depicting crashes of cars I feel related to. When I arrived home I did some reseach about car crashes, found some good images showing bad dents and all, saw some footage from crash tests, such as the link below which shows one of my all time favourite models being tested.
Minutes after I switched everything off and went to bed, my head literally busted with idea and I came up with the following which summerize my feelings from last night drive and the concept behind these new works.
IT IS BETTER TO DIE IN A CAR ACCIDENT THAN DIE STARVING
Here we go, you boredom oriented fear seduced citizen.
Car crashes are just a sex bang. When speeding along open roads, headlights blinding you from the opposite lane, have you ever got the feeling that you need to crash cos it feels that it's the right thing to do at that moment?
Don't you lust for an impact, a hit, an encounter with a stranger?
Only if you approach a turn at top speed and break suddenly you top up the sense of relief only that can only be compared to an orgasm.
Here are my very first sketches related to the theme...I like the grey coarse cardboard feel, charcoal and pencil lines, black/white cars and the hints of colour. Tomorow I shall experiment further with just white and use thick primer and light washes to enhance my works
