Portraitures
[tentative au cœur d'un jeune artiste, en colère]

EXPOSTION A

Behind the skeleton of the cat are a
swallow ’s  beak and feathers , and
while it looks accidental , the brown
violence  on  the  lower-right   hand
corner  does have purpose.  A bird,
caked in saliva and mud, hurled into
the  canvas  makes  an   attempt  at
permanence ,  succeeds ,  and  dies.

 
EXPOSITION B

This  is  before  the   epileptic  cat   dipped   in   lightning   lemon
acrylics, a  seizure  liberally  applied  on  the  canvas. The  artiste
decides, “ Yellow ,  what  an  ugly  color ” ,  washes   his   hands,
and   abandons   this    phase   of    his    artistic   experimentation.


EXPOSITION C

The rest are empty bottles holding paintbrushes,
hairs  caked ,  a  stagnant  rainbow.  Stasis, the
spectrum  dries  ,  flakes  off  like  falling   sand.
In  the  bottle  on  the  last shelf, a relic from the
future,  electric  toothbrush,  for  his finer details
undoable by neither cat nor bird. Bristles in drip,
the brush is summoned; his art is run on batteries.
