Artist Reviews:
"We are told that he is
"self-educated", without any
formal art education.
However, the exceptional
insight that we detect in his
art and the ability to

civilisation, tell us that his
talent is an innate one and...

Artist Statement for Reinhardt Soebye
|
|
|
The prevailing attitude in modern culture is that every individual is a world in his/her own right, a world from which all other's are excluded. This is a major lie. The truth is that we are each other's world and each other's destiny. Under normal circumstances, encounters between people are characterized by trust because we rely on people telling us the truth, that they take us seriously and that they wish us no harm. This is crucial to human existence. If we accept this fact, we can choose between taking care of another person's life or destroying it. This presupposes an ability to feel remorse, since ethics cannot be based on rational considerations. Without a capacity to understand another person's situation and without an ethical statement of belief and humility, we will exist as psychopaths and sosiopaths and hell will manifest itself.
Art is a messenger, not the message. Art is a bridge between our own limited biological lifespan and the archetypical universe of ethics, serenity and eternity. If art cannot touch you, transform you....it is not art, but sheer entertainment or a common lie. Art should render the ocean so that you notice the salty taste of your own blood.
