#r44 Angry Teenage Art
Slayer occupies a space in my history that I think of as my angry teenage years (fourteen to present). Slayer provides me with a higher level demonic/hell-based imagery than other thrash metal bands offer which is why, I find, they compliment certain activities, like painting angry teenage influenced demonesque five by seven paintings, perfectly. This is my re visitation to the kind of painting I would have liked, as well as liked to have painted, as an angry teenager: the kind of painting you can think 'that's fucking harcore' about.
Now you might be thinking that that was an unnecessary profanity, used only for shock value, but that's also partly what angry teenage art is about. It's also partly what being a slayer fan is about because there's still only one thing to respond when somebody says Slayer: and that's "Fucking Slayer!"
The revisionist installments are a series of re-reaction paintings to the events that occurred, or were occurring at, the time of their corresponding numerations. Painted for the five by seven show to fill in previously sold works, they are by not meant as repaintings of the original works, but rather, as expansions on the concepts of their pre-numbered associate.
