From all the artists who are a source of inspiration, I’ve finally chosen Mike Kelley.
I’ve been an admirer of his work since I put the record ‘Dirty’ of Sonic Youth on the turntable. Music is also a very important source of inspiration for me.
When I saw the large ‘The Uncanny’ retrospective in the Stedelijk Museum, the diversity of his work, the combination of tenderness and ‘dirty’ rawness swept me of my feet.
His (sometimes) satirical and disturbing work can make you feel very uncomfortable with familiar materials and seemingly innocent objects.
In my eyes it’s physical, awkward, magical, mysterious and deeply compelling at the same time.

  1. I don’t know what to say about this, but showcasing art is really nice thing and in fact, I am also fan of art and other things that illustrates some sort of messages in it. I must say this is actually amazing in its own. Meanwhile, you can also check out our firm of turntables in Vancouver.
