The Temptation To Exist.

We were classmates at university. Now he's a zillion dollar artist and me... well, I'm not.
Conrad Botes' current exhibition at Michael Stevenson is spectacular.
The scale of it. Countless brushstrokes, devilish self portraits, entrails, bones, fire and brimstone and an ocean of tears. A crossed out shopping list:
MELK, BROOD, VODKA.
And my utmost respect.
