HELLO DARKNESS, MY OLD FRIEND Louis Minnaar / 2016
HELLO DARKNESS, MY OLD FRIEND. I’VE COME TO BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH-BLAH… "If I could peel back my skull and show you my brain it would probably look like a bottomless hole full of little shards of crumpled up papers that seem as if they could’ve meant something at some stage, but definitely don’t anymore. I struggle to make sense of all the information. It's as if my brain is so full of images, ideas, songs, texts and numbers, that are hard coded with vague symbolism and hidden meanings, that the clear, meaning ful pockets of information and memor y that were stored for safe keeping have almost withered away and might one day be entirely forgotten.” - Louis Minnaar
! This kind of thinking became the driving force behind creating work for Hello darkness my old friend and Hail Mary! (an earlier exhibition). The intention was to move away from a graphically literal and illustrative way of image making and focus on creating more abstract, textural work that utilizes randomness as a compositional tool and explores the idea of reconstructing ideas out of the remnants of expired ones.
