LISTEN UP :: Ohhh Bonobo...

My painting inspiration for the day... 

If I were you, I'd download every damn thang you can find  by Bonobo. His music has been my go to (for more years than I can recall) when I'm in a mood that calls for a certain kind of sound...something melodic and dreamy, upbeat at times, and real real funky.

You can download one of my more recent faves here... THE KEEPER (BANK RMX). And below, are some streaming tracks for you to sample (thanks to Soundcloud)... and download if you like.

ARTSY :: The Psychedelic Genius of Gerardo Gomez

Kuxtal

Teachings of the Universe

Visions of the New Humanity

"Gerardo Gomez’s art colors the psychedelic with neurotic dashes of style. His images can hide the sinister behind the simple, drawing the viewer in with brightness while rewarding a close look with the darkness of questioned thought." (OutsiderArt)

When I visited the artist's official site, I was both surprised and amused by what I saw after I clicked on the link that led me to his bio page. There was only one sentence...

"I've been born several times."

This statement, though extremely short, is anything but simple. It is, on the contrary,  both profound and leading, and gives a viewer/reader great insight into the man behind the art..

Power comes in many forms. However, the rarest form of power, neither easily attained or practiced...is the kind of power that comes from one's ability to utilize a few short words to communicate a much larger, more complex message. Gomez effectively utilizes this form of power, and in effect, sparks the curiosity of those who peruse his site...and leaves them  with a craving to know more...about both him, and his art.

Read more about Gomez and see more of his amazing and complex work...
