Saint Titan [03.01.1991]
Early Saint Titan Paintings
"Saint Titan paintings are varied and explosive, brilliant and technical and they have slightly less impact upon me than when I saw Picasso's "Les demoiselles d'avignon" for the first time. Which is a great compliment to the artist Saint Titan. As I was not desensitized and a small child that had seen nothing of art when I first saw a Titan unlike the occasion when I first saw the image of Picasso". Gael Jacques, 2009
For his first exhibition in London the artist Saint Titan is working on 3 exhibition pieces. Unusual. Never been done before. Financially silly or brilliantly smart or just the necessary arrangement for a creative genius? "I'd like to think the art buyer could approach the purchase of brilliant 21st century art like Pick and Mix. He or she will go for a sweet egg or a fizzy cola bottle and come out with something far superior and brilliant than that of a Bacon or Dali or Picasso. Whilst this idea of 3 exhibitions in one world, one space at the same time has not been fully completed by the artist yet it is exciting to think that you can enter a world of imagination and fantasy and unlike a movie or video game buy and therefore take away a compelling part of that world.
"To me a full stop in a world of white can be art. You just have to look with different eyes than everybody else or not have conventional eyes at all. That full stop, to me Saint Titan can be so many things on both a microcosmic or macro level. To JK Rowling it must be a marker a beginning and an end to a line of 21st century literary brilliance. To Yayoi Kusama it must equate to multiplication and madness. To Saint Titan it is everything and within a world of nothing. It is both the 0 and the 1 and therefore that full stop is infinite." Saint Titan, June, 2009
Whether Saint Titan becomes one of the most famous and successful artists of the 21st century may come down to his work with the Film industry rather than his drawings and paintings. Perhaps Not. Or maybe we will never admire and appreciate his work at all. For Titan the aim is to be so brilliant that to ignore him would to be spiting one's own nose.
