“Sensory overload is not an issue in aim’s painting Primitice10. I don’t know if the snail(?) is a permanent or passing feature of the picture ie alive or dead. With furtive Duchampian finesse, this tabula rasa raises the ridiculous on to a pedestrian pedestal. This painting is not a comment on consumerist culture,it’s a hybrid expression of the hyper-awareness of cultural specifity. The seeming directness and simplicity of the image fascinates .One viewer who actually was at one of The Iceman’s live Blocks gasped- ‘That IS The Iceman!’ This was surprising given the well-documented un-orchestrated chaos that often accompanied The Iceman’s live Block performances, which is here unrecognised through the calmness of the near-holy figure.”[Kafe Smictiric-art critic]
