A: Is for discovering art

There is nothing like discovering an artist before they truly burst onto the scene. First you get the joy of watching the progress and two you get to enjoy the creation before the masses deem it fashionable so...

#14: Is wishing for the works of artist Augustus Goertz. His Paintings are part philosophical/scientific, mystical/intuitive, athletic/aesthetic, a texture of the universe on canvas. His soul is explored in the lines and marks of intuition, forging ahead in a parallel scientific proving. Seemingly alive, a throbbing surface tension embraces physicality. Goertz's work pulsate before the viewer's eyes. Goertz pushes towards pure abstraction. His palette is earthy and urban as he exploits a wide variety of effects, from celestial mists of color to paint applied so thickly it almost qualifies as relief. In several of the paintings, alternating bands of dark and light pigment create an eternity of deep cavernous ridges. In his photography there is a monochromatic feeling, though he uses color and sepia to surprise the eye. The process further involves painting over or around the photo-image along with other mixed media. While at the outset the content of these works is figurative and erotic, its as if the subject is being x-rayed and the viewer is allowed into the sancticy of human emotions. Internationally he is shown in Italy, Germany, Belgium, Copenhagen, and all over the US. Currently he shows at the Kim Foster Gallery. The layers of form and color emit a ghostly hue of light. Goertz gives the viewer a sensory illusion of swirling light and dark against a wild and ravaged field. The paint itself looks torn by the passion of a soul wanting to be unearthed. Augustus paintings make me feel like a child entranced by cloud formations. His creativity allows my creativity to take flight and I am sure your soul will feel the same way.
