A HACKER-PAINTING
Blase – or Blasepheme – is presented as the “hacker-painter”. He works from old canvases, modifies, distorts and transforms. His anachronic play confuses the viewer, manipulating the mind to convoke doubt and then to finally re-arrange one’s very own perception. Blase’s old-school approach keep him in a form of perpetual discomfort. He frequents antique shops and auction houses, examining all the destroyed canvases, until he finally falls in love with one of them and the bud of great idea is born. A long and delicate work, he then restores the entire canvas and adds that final personal touch, humourous and infectious, which establishes its new identity.
