Is discharge Dada? No, it is not. Influenced by and with a similar attitude to, but not Dada..
Is discharge Fluxus?
No, it is not.
Influenced by and with a similar attitude to, but not Fluxus.
Is discharge art for intellectuals? No, discharge is for anyone and everyone who appreciates creativity in all its myriad forms. Be it static visual, audio or moving image; the written word or the deconstructed, non-linear form. The spoken word and noise.
All creativity is the springboard for discharge. It highjack’s a multitude of genres and disciplines and transposes them onto the internet. discharge is electronically transmitted art, be it via blog, myspace or whatever format possible, it can also be produced and seen in classic formats.
The discharge Chapbook. The discharge Building by Parts book. discharge has no rules. All contributors to discharge are responsible adults. discharge has no leaders although it has an elected body of rotating editors who oversee rather than dictate the flow of the group.
The aim of discharge is to profile creative people and to do away with the pretension of the art world.
Everyday people creating art everyday to an exceptional quality.
Art by barrow boys and girls.
discharge is international.

beautiful work!
Ruela....
Thanks, glad you like it!!
yes, I like it!
nice characters for
an animated film...
I agree with Ruela, they are so light that they can do whatever at whatever speed
I am reminded of the elements... and our emergence from the primal seas.
Stunning, eyecatching piece of work. You always give me pause to think... Better than that, you give me pause to immerse myself!
CHM...
Thanks, this has been a fun series to do... it has allowed me to loosen up, and see where the painting takes me.
thanks

Iryna...
your words are soothing and kind, I'm glad that the painting gives you pause... it tells me I've done somthing right.
thanks
jb
Quite seriously, JBK, this piece has captivated me. You truly are getting it very, very right (to my mind, at least)!
Not intending to insult you by comparing you to another artist, it is Mondrian as he should have been at his best... and I adore Mondrian. If I had it, it would take pride of place above the mantel. Naturally, I'd open my doors and arms to anyone who wanted to experience it.
I hope you don't mind but I've downloaded the JPG for my desktop. I've come back here to stare so often that it seemed like the logical thing to do.
Truly compelling and hauntingly evocative.

Thanks, really aperciate your words! it helps to motivate during times of "painters block" I'm sure you understand the affliction.
thanks
jb
Iryna.....
I'm glad I rechecked the post, I almost missed your follow-up
Wow you really do like it, thanks!!
and being compared to a master painter really tickles me!
I may have to send it to you, although I checked you profile....
your "down-under" which means I'm up here!
it could be a logistical problem, I don't want it destroyed, but it appears that it means alot to you...
any ideas?
thanks
jb
Thank you so much for the sentiment, JB!
In the first instance, I couldn't accept it without paying you for it... That aside, while I was actually thinking of asking you whether you'd be prepared to part with it and the asking price, my major concern was the same as your own: shipping without damage. It isn't as if I could drive down, pop it on the back seat and take it to be framed. I can only imagine the potential damage in transit as I don't have any idea of how delicate acrylic on fluted sbs would travel - probably not terribly well. I see flaking and fading when exposed to the elements and handling... and couldn't imagine anything more heartbreaking for either of us.
Sigh. If I were obscenely rich I'd just charter a jet (along with an employee) to collect it. As I'm not even vaguely rich, that's a pie-in-the-sky concept.
Have you actually looked into freighting and potential problems for your 'canvases'?
Iryna..
I will check into packing and shipping, soon as the holidays end,
I have not shipped the sbs before, I have shipped photos as far as Sweden without mishap...
You mean your not rich? I thought all the Dark Angels had private jets and hoover crafts full of eels
My e-mail is jimmykingfishjr@aol.com (yeah I need to change it), shoot me a note so I have yours and I'll try to get somthing done after the new year
Apologies for taking time in getting back to you. I'm in the process of setting up my new computer and have so many programmes, files and software to transfer that I've gone cross-eyed. Yeah, I'm not rich but I can't plead poverty, either.
Again, I'm terrified of what could happen to this piece in transit. I've heard that the UK Postal Service is a bad joke... but the Australian Postal Service is governmental terrorism at its best. No doubt it will get here. I'm seeing 'folded' (read as broken into fragments) and stuffed into my letter box!
Please give this some serious thought. It's definitely NOT photos shipped to Sweden. Storage alone would probably crack the acrylics.
Sending you my email address...
