STREET ART EXMOUTH
STYLE - THE BEACH
Another example of
art on public view in Exmouth, this time the sign hanging outside The
Beach pub. Let's be frank, however, and admit that it's not a very
imaginative painting.
You can see where
it's coming from: Exmouth has a beach, the pub's name is The Beach so
let's have a painting of - a beach! Which is all well and good but
it's a bit empty, isn't it? A bit desolate. A bit void of any
imagination.
Personally, I like
my art to be a bit more vivid. A bit more colourful in both it's
physical appearance and it's metaphysical relationship to the viewer.
If there's going to be a painting of a beach then I want it to be a bit
more expressive. I want it to explode in excelsis deo. I want my
beach and my Exmouth to be depicted as a psychedelic wonderland:
I even want the sea
itself to be depicted as liquid ecstasy. As one of the greatest natural wonders of the world because let's face it, that's exactly what it
is. I want the sea at Exmouth to be depicted as the source of
everything. Don't know about you but I want it to be like Andrei
Tarkovsky's Solaris. I want to be able to look into it as you would a
fire and see things you might never have imagined. I want it to
be a lake of dreams. A sea of rains. A gulf of dews. An ocean of
fecundity:
