"Wow, that wading cadaver with skewered fish and dangling tongue, all aflame, makes for one of the most startling shots in all of film! Orsten Groom's ethos is incredible! Twisted, a little mean, often ugly, always gorgeous!"
Guy Maddin
"Orsten Groom's paintings are flying rugs, standing rugs, flying mud rugs, bear-sized paintings, paintings are angry bear torsos.
From the start we see the flow of speed on the torso of the flying carpets;
we go straight to feel the feet of birds with the fixed idea of an elevator.
We stand parallel to a painting's torso, we tell ourselves that we must wait with our eyes for the first concrete dances until we finish growing legs for the flight.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
An Osten Groom board gives you the right size of take-off.
Sometimes the paintings in the exhibitions take breaks, they have undressed their faces, there you have it, we have to see the face of the painting, it's done, we like each other and everything and everything, other times we can see well badly because of the painter's hand pool which remains suspended above the working pond.
But here, last thing: it is not the face of a painting, here we see the throat of the painting, the shoulders of the flat throat of the painting, everything starts from the night of the throat, these are the rock paintings from the throat, scratched by the passage of grison meats, the departure of sputum.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
From the night of the gorge lights up the flat area of a magma of modesty where the weightlessness of lightning beauties gradually appears, it is the flatness of drowning that shows the mixture of drowned people on the dry bottom of large puddles.
Finally, the paintings of Orsten Groom are the dry bottoms of large puddles standing like angry bears on the middle of a flying carpet. "
Jean-Daniel Botta
"I grope around that face beyond the reach of perspective.
A crowd effect on the page, -
each form must live one inside the other in order, fading away, to make a part of the story where I find myself, without before or after, -
it is only here that the line exists. The colors scream, but, although it tires, their voices adjust. A space in the center fluctuating, and there, in the crowd, on the threshold, I know I saw it.
His eyelids rise. I enter."
André Markowicz
