   About shadowist
I am SHADOWIST. I am an artist and musician living and breathing. One of the primary goals when painting is to produce a piece that is both sombre yet contains elements that are disturbing. Blatent violence and shock art are something that feature uncommonly within my work. i try to draw a balance between what is ambient and what could be considered to be dark or somewhat sinister. If someone views my work and walks away with no verbal opinion about what they have just seen, then I know I have attained that balance.

Creating images that do not exist in the natural world opens the creative gates in a land without artistic rules. Unlike art academics who judge an art work by either the glorified name on the piece or whether the artist has paid undivided attention to proportion or colour, I am not constrained by boundries of contemporary art. At school I avoided absorbing the directions of the artists fool.

In 1991 I attended the Queensland College of Art majoring in fine arts. Six months later I handed in my ID to the front office of the college bemused and disillusioned by the lack of inspiration they had offered me. My understanding of art is you can learn the techniques of the masters, but never strive to unlock their ideas as these must be yours unrelentingly.

To me art is something personal. For years i did not want to let anyone gaze upon my art because it was like a view in to my prepostorious world - much like a hair binded diary. It was because of a insidious friends insistence that I decided to hang some works on the walls and display them for all. To this day I am still uncomfortable for anyone to view my work - not for fear of them hating the pieces, but for fear of me feeling like I have been invaded and abducted.

 

In September 2007 I am embarking on my first official art gallery exhibition called 'shifting paradigms'. It will exhibit works from 4 other rising artists and will display such pieces as sculpture, photography and paintings. The photos on this site are part of the series of black and white paintings that form part of the exhibition. Most art pieces are for sale.

 

The music you hear is mine. The mix of music and art together form a diary of the senses - these are the most important elements in my ongoing attempt to understand the purpose of ones existance.


 

As the pounding of forces dark protrude my door, I accept the hour of
one, no less, no more.... In the instance whereby I not be dead.... I
will meet thou near the skies of red. Now I pray that these ghosts be
gone.... So I may behold another dawn. All but me lie still as night,
this unseen army alone I fight. And if I live to face this morn, my
enemies skin I shall adorn. - Shadowist
