"Brainstorms" Sculpture by Outsider Artist Eric C. Platt

Ever had a "thought storm"? Thinking too much? Is television brainwashing us? ...You decide what it means...

I created this piece after going to a party where there was a very loud punk band playing and people painting on the walls. I went outside to get away form the noise and craziness and ended up talking with a physicist. He mentioned "strange attractors" and chaos, and I asked him if maybe the brain worked like that. On the way home I saw an incredible lightning storm. I launched into painting this TV right away, and somehow all of those impressions and ideas came together in this piece.

I am offering my art directly to the public to sidestep the gallery system and give greater faith to you, the buyer, to have the intelligence to know what to buy without a critic or art seller telling you what's "good".

This outrageous and intriguing sculpture makes an electrifying statement wherever displayed. It consists of a painted television and a matching black-painted stand. It is definitely a conversation piece, utterly original and compelling. Turn it on, and the static from the TV seems to glow and pulse through the "brain". This is a one of a kind artistic statement, very entertaining as well as provocative and colorful. Definitely out of the ordinary. With a punk feeling, yet highly skilled in execution, this vibrant piece is boldly imaginative and strangely captivating. You will find people staring at it.

With the TV turned on (allow time for animation to load):

A spirit of playfulness animates this piece. The iridescent and metallic pigments make it glow even when it's turned off.
