Model Rice, the Surging Presence
Art critic, lecturer, and philosopher; author and historian of art
Model Rice violently shakes the boundaries of his own creation. He has cast
offtheshackles of obscene good taste. He confronts the unthinkable in the raw, venturing with stark intensity into perilous, staggering, and unappeased territories. His creative lightning
strikescutthrough vastness.
A barbaric, inventive, and risqué creation — where the dark side cries
outforlife. The expected coordinates of art have vanished, swept away in a whirlwind of brief life and wild vitality. On the brink of the unthinkable.
Each work is a frozen collision, a kind of mental miracle, with a
prodigiousandenigmatic clarity. A suspended explosion. A tremor.
When there is, on rare occasions, a formal nod to pictorial or
graphicconventions,it is only to better sabotage them from within.
The insidious reigns without limit, and mental sedition creeps in —
cruel,rampant,and devastating to the guardians of cultural propriety.
A talisman of delicious incongruity.— Christian Noorbergen
