Life is a gift, and all of us have been given a free voucher to experience it and all its magnificence. Here's the quote from biologist Richard Dawkins which inspired this painting...
“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here. We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?” — Richard Dawkins
Jack Kaido is an abstract painter.
He creates lifelike abstract paintings in digital’s endlessly-reproducible form, then plays with this by minting 1/1 only editions, just like real paintings — a buyer becomes the only person worldwide to own the painting.
Kaido experiments with colours through colour theory and seeks to capture moments, memories, emotions, landscapes and ideas in his paintings. This capturing is viewed as a form of photograph of an experienced inner moment, or in other words, ’polaroids of the within’.
His first series 'Polaroids' is comprised of 30 paintings, and the series takes its title and reflections from #11 in the series. His work takes great influence from the art of the American Abstract Expressionists of the 1950s, and in particular, Willem de Kooning and Joan Mitchell.
