Started listening to Duran Duran again and got really weirded out at some of their lyrics.

As kids, we were all too busy appreciating how good Simon Le Bon looked in his jacket or trying to imitate his dance moves to ever give a f*ck about his lyrics.

New Moon on Monday (1983)

"Shake up the picture the lizard mixture with your dance on the eventide

You got me coming up with answers all of which I deny
I said it again but could I please rephrase it, maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer but I'll wait 'til you decide"

The Chauffeur (1982)

"The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze

Swim seagull in the sky
Towards that hollow western Isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze"

The Reflex (1984)

"The reflex is a lonely child, who's waiting by the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover, isn't that bizarre?
And every little thing the reflex does
Leaves you answered with a question mark"

Come Undone (1993)

"Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed with a home tattoo
"Happy birthday to you" was created for you"

Artist statement: I would define my artwork as a manifestation of self, an extension of my spirit or sub-consciousness, which is still beyond my grasp and lies at the deepest sphere of pure self. In particular, I try to minimize intellectual inclinations when I create to prevent the ego, the fictitious self from intervening, and hence my works are the most loyal reflections of who I am (dreamer, fantasy-prone, sensitive, sexual and a bit dark ...
