C’EST SI TRISTE SANS LUI BY CLEMO BREAUX, 1929
REMIX: ROB CHURM, IT IS SO BLUE WITHOUT HIM, 2007
The artist describes this work as depicting “a ring of Archons.
They are juggling with Qualia at the base of 'The Fire whose Ashes
are Cold.” This work is a reflection on Harry Smith’s
study of belief systems and mysticism. Some Gnostics taught that the
world is ruled by evil archons, among them the deity of the Old Testament,
who hold captive the spirit of humanity. The archons are the Gnostic
controllers of the seven spheres. Churm’s work often depicts
surreal and mystical scenes, merging expressionistic forms with abstract
graphics.
Rob Churm lives and works in Glasgow. Recent exhibitions include ‘Not
these tones’ at Glasgow Project Rooms in 2005 and a group show
with Seripop at Whitechapel Project Space in January 2007. He also
in the band Park Attack who have released two albums ‘Half Past
Human' and 'Last Drop at Hideout'.
