1/14 So you want vital, genuine art to come back? A good start would be to establish a collective studio where painters, draughtsmen, printmakers, architects, poets and sculptors gather to work in close proximity.Image 2/14 We need to foster a breakaway movement within the arts. A small cadre of artists who will work in tandem, with a shared vision of bringing forward a fresh strain of vitality and dynamism in Fine Art. This will be the only way to bring about an energised movement that isn't diseased and captured.Image

1/13 Conservatives, if the enemy has your position under relentless heavy artillery fire, do you hunker down and stand ground? No, that would be suicide. So why is this your default reaction when it comes to culture. Isn't it obvious you must reposition? 2/13 Recently an article came to my attention in @TheSpectator entitled "What conservatives lack". This final paragraph hits the nail on the head as to where we currently stand. Bravo @ToryAnarchist, glad to find others I resonate with. Image

1/12 I appreciate the mention @DoctorEllwanger @theammind although the general framing is too muddied by theory and pretentiously convoluted. It is worth addressing this notion of trying to label a nascent current. 2/12 The whole essay is long and addresses many familiar faces here. It lightly touches on my art and what he thinks is my mental framework. Adam unfortunately gets caught up in his own theoretical weeds and it becomes needlessly overcomplicated.

1/12 We are living in a spiritual and aesthetic dark age. It is trench warfare on the cultural front. I am trying to find something of WHO WE ARE. Today. We are not 1700s man, not 1800s man. I care about where we are today and where we are going. Image 2/12 I was fortunate to have a recent post of mine really get some traction. It provided a terrific litmus test. The positive comments and curiosity were just terrific to behold. Thank you all for the support 💪

THREAD↓ Bullfighter sculpture seen in momentary clips in the new Dune film. Early modernist aesthetic applied to a fictional world 20,000 years ahead of ours. Could the early modernist aesthetic be a kind of neo primitivism. A timeless primal style that never looks aged? Image Or is a combination of the more refined Art Deco required to be added into the mix? ImageImageImage
