Neurotika -Balance.

By bruceray | Published: May 3, 2012

I do not separate art from life. Art is not a desperate act of madness or of isolation. The artist is someone who is able to combine their craft with a positive state of mind. Vincent Van Goh was a success in his inspiration -but in living itself -he was a failure.

Neurotika – Fusion.

By bruceray | Published: March 28, 2012

‘It has never been my inclination to separate art from politics.’ -Pablo Neruda. I believe that there are no contradictions in life. We live on the floating islands of perception -we assume that our opinion is a weapon -to reconcile is heresy. But in the ideal of Fusion -all things become one.

By bruceray | Published: December 16, 2011

They who cut off heads and shorten tongues -say ‘All is Equal.’ In this way we fulfill the function of society -to have a level clearing field. But even so a certain tyranny is affected. This is the movement of the grinding wheel -and is often a process of making things smaller. Anyone who aspires [...]

A Chip Off the Old Blog

By bruceray | Published: November 25, 2011

Let us begin -by addressing the theme. The idea that madness and wisdom is close together is nothing new. I think it could be argued that the artistic process is an altered state -perhaps even a trance of some kind -that appears to be insanity. Some people think that art is impractical or even degenerate. [...]
