SUMMARY:Chester Arts Centre: Chester Art Centre: DisTurBia\, Bryn Sutcliffe
DESCRIPTION:An exceptional ART Event to take place at Chester Art Centre on
  September 30 at 7 PM. Come to see an edgy\, scary\, unconventional and tr
 uly beautiful art exhibition by the one and only Bryn Sutcliffe\, who will
  talk about his work and explain why the paintings were born and why he wi
 ll never exhibit them again. You have never seen anything like it!\n\n"In 
 2011 during the summer break between the second and final year of my fine 
 art degree course\, my violent drug and drink fuelled existence had yet an
 other major incident resulting in the breaking of my jaw and my teeth gett
 ing knocked out. After the operation my mental health took a turn for the 
 worse and during a manic episode I began a deranged stage of writing what 
 was the start of a novel that remains unfinished. It blurs reality and fic
 tion in a mind bending rollercoaster ride from the depths of hell... This 
 subsequently led to me attempting to illustrate the book with blood splatt
 ered monsters and gore-filled landscapes of the devil\, but it all came ac
 ross a bit obvious with heavy reliance on the cheap shock tactic. It was s
 uggested by my tutor that there could have been a more subtle approach to 
 disturbance...\n\nDisTurBia project was born with the removal of the figur
 e\, now concentrating on derelict places with the idea of evoking question
 s from the viewer. What could have happened there? What might have been? T
 he unknown can be far more psychologically unnerving in a far less evasive
  manner. At that time I had finally recovered from the operation on my jaw
 \, but the event didn't stop the madness of addiction. Nothing short of a 
 miracle could do that.\n\nMy belief is that DisTurBia represents the death
  of painting for me as an artist and a human being\, and as much as it is 
 a contradiction of what I am and everything that came at the start of my j
 ourney as an artist\, the novel is yet to be completed as the answers to i
 ts outcome are waiting in my future... DisTurBia also represents the rooms
  of my mind through mental breakdown\, alcohol\, drug addiction and violen
 ce\, empty rooms of things lost\, things broken and things hopeless.\n\nTh
 is is the last showing of this work because that miracle I spoke of had ha
 ppened\, just for today.\n\nDisTurBia forces the viewer to look at subject
  matters like mortality\, suicide and catastrophe\, leaving room for your 
 own creative musings.\n\nI will be doing dark work again (even do DisTurBi
 a style work)\, but I hope to never be back in a place where I can create 
 DisTurBia again.\n\nThis exhibition is the death of DisTurBia.\n\nMy name 
 is Bryn and I'm an artist."
