For years I have been largely into both the experimental and avant-garde art genres, but slowly in the past decade the two have been blended together into the experimental avant-garde genre. For the uninformed this includes, but is not limited to, mediums of art. The expression that is capable in this art movement is astounding and allows artists to break the walls of oppression and conformism nothing like we’ve seen before. I have attempted to make a dent in the realm of pure expression but have failed to do so yet, as my art pieces are often quite avant-garde but lack in the experimental department. However, despite these short comings, I still have a great admiration for those that know how to extract pure art and have decided to dedicate my blogs to those that can harness its power.

In this blog I wish to explore the world that I adore so well even further and I aim to attract an audience of art lovers or at the very least open the fifth eye of readers. While this blog may be one small step for the movement, taking into consideration that this has been called the “future of art” by my mom, the genre will be storming the mainstream soon enough. If you think of yourself as ‘hip’ and ‘with it’ it will be best to keep up with the movement at risk of being labeled a conformist. If you’re still confused on what the genre is about, don’t worry, not everyone is able to expand their mind and open their fifth eye at first, and continuing to read my blog will help in the process. In the music scene, The Residents have been noted as many artist’s inspiration and are often called the pioneers of the genre. The group’s music videos are a great place to start for those that wish to get into the scene. The following is a small sample of what’s to come:

Experimental avant-garde activist and art critic Mortimer Epstein has called experimental avant-garde “the art movement that will end all art” and noted “we should probably blow up the Earth once the movement is over. There’s no doing better than this.” [citation needed] The following is his first venture into the genre, titled I Swear This Is Art:

When this picture was originally published in 2005 it made waves in the scene, as the political commentary on the events surrounding the Berlin Wall is instantly recognizable. When experimental avant-garde artists are asked which piece of work had inspired them to delve into the genre, this is often cited as one of their greatest influences.
