SZ CHAPEL
2013 Start SZ Chapel.
Will occupy me until 2016 and beyond.
Then SZ Boredom.
Then SZ Cosmogony.
12 years ago.
No AI.
Digital art not accepted as it is today.
Many colleagues used automations.
I did not.
For me, it was painting.
How else could I paint a 32-meter canvas without owning a wall?
SZ Chapel.
Every figure drawn. Every gesture manual.
Digital as tool, gesture as painting.
Not copy. Not reverence.
Playful. Provocative.
Sacred and profane.
Parts of SZ Chapel shown in Shanghai, then Beijing, then Valencia.
Concept: strip the artwork of its bigotry, its religious weight.
Show that beauty is available even as we belong to the animal kingdom.
No shame in being human.
Halfway between divine and animal.
Underlying the work: Platonic vision.
The allegory of the cave.
Reality seen by few.
But not forbidden to those without means.
Everyone can still live.
