Jonathan Purtill - all shall smolder in my wake (graphite, 4" x 6", on 9" x 12" paper, 2020)

vijay mishra's gothic sublime on desert meth. 'the rotten sublime.' disintegrating immortality, endless sickness, meat falling apart like wet bread. lovecraft's twilit grotto. a black bug room (the opposite of a white hot room). infinite gravity, fuzzy black stars, worminess, seep. my drawings are a version of photo-realism i guess.
