neo rauch -- "gewitterfront" [i.e., storm front"] (2016)
"the unconscious is a never-ending source of imageries that seem to just be waiting to reveal themselves in my paintings. it's an area where things are still all jumbled together and don't have specific intentions, material that the painter is allowed to configure at will" ... neo rauch "a cock is crowing far away ... and another soldier’s deep in prayer some mother’s child has gone astray, she can’t find him anywhere but i can hear another drum ... beating for the dead that rise whom nature’s beast fears as they come ... and all i see are dark eyes" ... bob dylan "for me, each blank canvas is a fog bank that i enter equally anxious and excited safe in the knowledge that i will come across things that i have never seen before" ... neo rauch "obviously, i'm just making this all up as i go folks ... the storm and the drum ... the sturm und drang ... the cock and the beast ... zimmer and the man" ... al janik
