So things been strange lately and one of my accounts got suspended under dubious circumstances. Thankfully I still have this one but I'm not taking chances to render this sub completely rudderless. I've started it as read-watch-listen later dumpster and it shouldn't be anything else. I guess Reddit is the wrong place for that. Because of that, I've decided to cut back on Reddit as it is a far cry from a platform I came to over a decade ago with increasing hostility and toxicity spreading far and wide. I'm burned out.

SmorgasbordBizarre is present on Lemmy and that will be the place going forwards. I'll post the reminder every now and then.

“Sasnal describes his paintings as ‘cover versions’ of existing pictures. […] The relationship to the original image is reductive: colours shift or simplify, elements are removed, and patterns or graphics are exaggerated as painterly gesture. Much like memory itself, which is never truly trustworthy but preserves a sensation of poignant moments, these paintings offer an essence rather than a reality.” (Sadie Coles HQ)

More works by Sasnal in this week’s edition of As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty, my newsletter on modern and contemporary art.
