  Joy Garnett: Strange Weather Series
While blogging, sometimes when a tiny caucasian earthquake softly shakes my table, I get reminded that the big disasters and catastrophes continue to lure for us, just like Russian Roulette gaming on the next big final hit. I dont start now with the daily threats by bird flu, car accidents and bad lucks. Surviving a couple of revolutions, all the diseases, the drinking, the fights, the bad moments and the monsters- we're lucky that we are still alive. Last November one of my close friends got murdered in his car just a mile from my blogging table, we are shocked, that this could happen to him and here, with a headshot and a srewdriver in his thigh, as we heard.

When Anaba posted today a painting by Joy Garnett, I discovered her Strange Weather Series, a couple of amazing paintings. We all see a lot of the daily disaster images on the internet, wich some of them are samples, templates and inspirations for the paintings of Joy Garnett. But, these painted tornados, floods and general disasters have a much stronger impact, they give you a feeling of a anyway lost fight. Like, we can not win that race, we are not ruling the system. Not against nature. Joys paint and brushes create images of a inescapable havoc, Angst and Ubermacht (superiority). See her paintings on the Riots in Paris, where weather and fire joins the abrasions of society.
