*Machiel van Soest*

Schilderijen

“bot bloed vlees vet
sex god geest
dood dood dood”




objects are words

words are images  


the presence of an object comes to us in form of
reflected light caught in our eyes and on our skin

I paint this light

I paint human skin  


the spectrum of white light contains all colours

the spectrum of matter is brown, decayed in soil



skin has no colour, light enters transparent layers of
tissue (matter) and is reflected at different levels

light in matter makes skin (colour)

skin contains all colours, skin reflects the world


skin as border between self and outside world

colour change of skin stands for change within or outside oneself  


emotions colour skin

sickness and death colour skin

pressure temperature pain



I paint words as images, as light and its reflection on our skin

noise materialized

atoms molecules body cloths food love property
state war work death cosmos

time
