WHO: John U. Abrahamson
WHAT: Painter
WHERE: Los Angeles, California
WHEN: “Flesh and Blood” solo exhibition at Bert Green Fine Art, March 10th through April 24th, 2010
WHY: Painting for me is exorcism. All the horror and pain, the stuff that tears you apart or inevitably kills you I give birth to on paper, wood and canvas. Since this will be a washing away of the last ten years with my next solo show, “Flesh and Blood” along with the artwork, I chose to destroy all my personal journals that documented the pain I portrayed. The center piece to the show of the same title “Flesh and Blood” will be an installation of 300 vials of my flesh and blood suspended over the journals on a metal frame that form the shape of a prone human. The 30 journals, 220 pgs each, are open for the viewers to destroy. The installation/performance piece will be accompanied by 30 paintings of oils on wood and paper.
