the beautiful~grotesque
the beautiful~grotesque
From deep within
the reptile-mind,
stirs a metamorphic urge
to dream of the past
and of the future,
to become lost
in sleepy-eyed reverie
and bittersweet nostalgia
of things yet to pass;
to think
too much
or not enough.
To ponder
the meaningless
of the universe.
To dance
without movement
to the music of dead planets
from twilight to midnight,
from midnight to dawn.
To seek out
signs and wonders,
omens and augurs.
To soar
with the owls and angels,
then plunge
to an oceanic nadir.
To gorge on forbidden fruit
and then repent.
To speak in the tongues
of the pantheons
and seek
reconciliation with the godhead.
Only to question,
eternally,
what is the point?

The Mindscape of Alan Moore
"Because our entire universe is made up of consciousness, we never really experience the universe directly we just experience our consciousness of the universe, our perception of it, so right, our only universe is perception."

"To me, all creativity is magic. Ideas start out in the empty void of your head - and they end up as a material thing, like a book you can hold in your hand. That is the magical process. It's an alchemical thing. Yes, we do get the gold out of it but that's not the most important thing. It's the work itself."
— Alan Moore

The Art of Anatoly Fomenko : Presented by Denis Forkas Kostromitin
All Images © Anatoly Fomenko : Presented by special guest curator Denis Kostromitin
Anatoly Timofeevich Fomenko (b.1945), a renowned Soviet and Russian mathematician over the years has managed to produce a few series of outstanding drawings in between his academic research. His painstakingly rendered pieces set a playground for emotion, topology, madness and magick: giddy abstract structures confront surreal monsters; expressive figures convey untold fears and mystery; crystals of reason melt under the pressure of chaos.
"The artist’s choice of composition – be it illustrations for Bulgakov's “The Master and Margarita”, sketches of mathematician’s jokes, poetic landscapes or twisted outlines of various paradoxes – always takes me unawares. The simultaneously delicate and violent shapes are clearly designed to dominate the viewer."
Fomenko’s visuals were beautifully animated in a 30-minute cartoon “Перевал / Passage” directed by V. Tarasov, 1988.
