Description
*Hear the sound of fleeting fears...
hear the moving of ghostly messengers
of our secreted lies that sneak up and creak
like poisons,
like misty blurs of darkened souls...
In a world that betrays,
in a world that we betray,
there's someone who can face
all the most miserable facts
with lucid mind
with clear eye
with clean voice to shout it loud.
He hears the silent dripping of our frajility,
he messes our hearts
with grotesque imagining,
he puts a mirror out,
and faceless demons appear
to recall us things we cannot bear
brand new bramble of dangerous connections
we run out from, cos in there
they stay our limits
and illusions to stay leaden from,
but safe.
There is a Knight that comes by ground,
with immense brain he knives us out;
there is a Knight whose inner dreams
are as vivid though
than his sinister screams.
In the logic he dwells, and if he's torn us out
is just because there's something
we're afraid to challenge our spirit with and up.
With lucid mind
with clear eye
with clean voice...
please never restraint your horizons
and always keep being this renewing force
for helping that searchin
we should never turn down.*

so this is for you all my third Knight, Rik, aka syndroid.I could write a book on him as his personality is the most fascinating combination of intelligence and artistic skill and human sensitivity I have got to meet here. I am rarely in admire of people's intelligence, certainly almost never the way I admire his intelligence. Many think that art is neessarily something connected with impressions, expressions fugacious and "feelings" but the mere existence of people like Leonardo tells us much of the greatest ever art has to do with intelligence as much as sensitivity. Rik has the mind of the scientist and he sees art like society's painting of a state of living. I started to love his work since he came, because he started with my prediliged form of art, penciling. And he does it way better than I do. Then he moved towards different realms. In his art and in his writing, he puts seeds of controversy that are never just to mess out. They are messages, they are inputs for wakin up sleeping minds. He's like Goya. In demons he shows the sleeping of the Reason. In ghosts he portrays what we are and we shouldn't be,what we aren't that we might be. He's sort of.. Illuminist in a way. And I wish all of you would try to know him before judging his works too quickly, in one way or another. His works are not "dark by clich

How to put this? Success on top of success with a little success on the side and wash it all down with a big mug of success! Deeply thought words and image for a man who's currents run very deep indeed.

Excellent drawing, Meli, and a great choise for one of the knights. Syndroid always dazzles, both visually and mentally.

Originale e molto creativo ritraggo Meli...!!! mi piacciono molto i toni e calze rosse che ha, la combinazione di tratti forti ed in certi settori le ombre delicatamente suggerite. Il testo molto illustrativo per potere capire l'immagine. Spettacolare lavoro...!!!

Transmission received. I had one of those rubber shrunken heads hanging from the rear view mirror of my first car. That was when it bounced up with it's engine removed before the completion of the swap. Rik, there is a mountain, where ever you are.
