You are about to enter the Vomitus Maximus Museum

Please be forewarned that the paintings and drawings you are about to see contain what many people consider depictions of violence and sexual , huh ... (acts?).

Try to be as mature as possible when viewing these images.



For me, these pictures represent my perceptions of the people, places and things that encompass my life. It's how I see things, my impressions and reactions on canvas and paper. Contrary to what some people conclude from viewing these images, I do not condone violence or crime or drug taking or Satan worshiping. I DO NOT condone or endorse anything. I'm just "thinking out loud".

There is NO message here. If you think you see one it is because you are seeing yourself in the mirror of my work. Creating these images is my way of purging my sub-conscience. This is my way of "Vomiting" the excess mental debris that accumulates. If you think it's ugly, it is. If you think it's pretty, right again. It's whatever you think, whatever you think you see. It's unlikely that you see these pictures in the same way that I do. So perhaps what you see is more you, than me.

Mental Vomit, ... you might say.

THIS IS THE DIARY OF  R.S. CONNETT
THE VOMITUS MAXIMUS MUSEUM

"A finished canvas is to be cast off like a dry cocoon, a worn out sheath of skin, wriggled out of and shed, torn off the back of a snake whose coiled shadow is memory. The body re-emerges intact, alive again and cognizant, transformed into a new creature. The canvas, that skin of expressed memory in paint, remains forever."

Richard Diran, 1995

 

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."

The appreciation of any given artist and/or individual piece of his or her work is defined by personal taste and is usually described in black and white terms rather than shades of gray: one either likes or dislikes it. Some of the material here will challenge your sensibilities, other material you may find difficult to even look at. But if a given work of art contains a message, then the images found here will talk to you! In fact, if you spend some time exploring here we guarantee that your opinion will polarize to a much further degree than simply "liking" or "disliking" what we present: you will either love or hate what you see.

Myles Anderson, "Webmaster Emeritus"
