Music elevates the soul, and no composer so lifts souls as Johann Sebastien Bach. In this elevation, we create obfuscation; choral hymns and angelic choirs disguise the deeply human genius which must always serve as background and foundation to all such acts of creation. As time and the intensification of information wear away the chaste elevation of heavenly creation, the comic and the human passions of great art reveal themselves. Kezzyn’s Bach is a picture of this process, a snapshot of the hidden aggression which reveals itself in even our most intellectually rarified pursuits. At first glance, the musicians pictured resemble more a gaggle of hooligans than purveyors of beatific vision; but conflict sits at the heart of all artistic expression, and in Kezzyn’s view, the gulf between a streetside brawl and an orchestra pit is more a trick of the light than a fact of nature.
Kezzyn's work recalls all the extremities of Goya and Spanish old masters, combining it with a playful reminiscence of the colorful humor of the 17th century Dutch Golden Age.
He forces us to acknowledge that "the tragic" is "the comic"―life mandating us to carry on in the face of our own discomfort. Kezzyn introduces delight into the controversy of watershed moments when we must decide when to laugh or cry at the circumstances we find ourselves in.
Bursts of color are attenuated with a sensual commitment to uphold the tension between integrity and degradation in the human form through light motifs. His mastery of light heighten the onlooker’s emotions, hiding in places we usually don’t dare travel alone, even in dreams. The works do nothing less than reinvent painting with a camera. He simultaneously challenges us with a nightmarish and honest repertoire of displays of the human condition; all subject-matter one can easily imagine turning into a living theater.
