So there’s this artist, Alex Schaefer, who makes a bunch of paintings of Chase Bank burning.

There’s just

so many of these

and I think it’s incredibly funny but

I just read this bit from the artist and

This is a "plein air" painting which means I set up my easel right across the street of this Chase bank in my city and painted it like it had caught fire. The police questioned me on the spot. Three weeks later Homeland Security was knocking on the door to my home. The question they kept asking me was "Do you hate these banks?" I can honestly say yes.

And I just think this is the greatest artist statement I’ve ever read.

“numinous”

— nü-mə-nəs, ˈnyü, (adjective) | The aesthetic value of numinous coincides with its enigmatic definition. Numinous is defined as mysterious or possessing  a metaphysical quality, which is intangible. A numinous object or place holds an undetectable sort of beauty and transcendtial atmosphere. You may use this word to describe ancient ruins, art, poetry, overall artistic expression or an experience. It is a quality, which appeals to a higher sense of your being.  (via wordsnquotes)
