Steve Beck's Paintings on Display at ArtSouth's Faculty Gallery

In this video, Joey Kernisky (AKA JoeyTheJoker, AKA Kerniskywa) discusses Steve Beck's latest paintings being displayed at ArtSouth's Faculty Gallery. Mr. Beck's paintings were created with the freedom that is given to an artist when he is unencumbered by the pressures of realistic painting and opens himself up to the forces around him (or her). This freedom and parallel awareness can bring forthright realism. The impossibility of creating realism while smearing, pouring and carving the paint is similar to the impossibility of a Black Swan existing, yet it was eventually found in Australia. Painting determined by the energies around us might seem like an impossible way of describing current happenings, yet in the case of when painting this way actually enhances the arts outcome, we should not downgrade the realistic results that appear.

The Black Swan theory brackets the idea that whimsical painting methods could result in realism. Though it would be rare and basically impossible to make happen, we should leave room for the possibility of informative painting occurring though unconventional methods.

In art this applies to the understanding of an event in its completeness. It would be impossible to grasp an event happening simultaneously in its entirety, though sometimes if we leave ourselves open to the forces that surround us and paint open to external events, we could possibly paint all that has just happened.
