I am interviewing myself again.
Q: What can you tell me about the paintings in this post?
A: These paintings are all painted in accordance with the manifesto of The Superstroke Art Movement of 2008. The manifesto was slightly ammended in 2010, in conjunction with Greg Simmonds, as it was not inclusive enough of sculpture at that stage.
Q: What is Superstroke?
A:Superstroke is a 21st century avant-garde art movement where the emphasis is on expression using expressive even violent brush strokes. Artists that is affiliated with the Superstroke Art Movement also tries to include zig-zag violent brush strokes as well as criss cross expressive brush strokes that look like a plus signs in their paintings. This is to differentiate Superstroke paintings from paintings produced by art movements such as C.O.B.R.A., Abstract Expressionism and Neo Expressionism.
Q:How was Superstroke influenced by Superflat?
A:Superflat is most definitely almost the biggest influence on Superstroke. The name Superstroke was directly derived from Superflat. Superstroke is almost the opposite to Superflat.
Q: Explain the opposite of Superflat?
A:Where the paintings in the Superflat Art Movement are smooth, very precise and have a flat surface, the paintings in Superstroke are almost the opposite where the emphasis is on being extremely expressive and using violent brush strokes. We also try to build up as much texture as possible on the surface of a painting by various methods, including using marble dust in the paint and squeezing paint directly out of the tube.
