This work is a philosophical collage painting, created in a retro style with elements of pop art and minimalism. A vintage vinyl record, covered in white acrylic brushstrokes and inscribed with the phrase “Too much stupid talk, not enough good music”, is mounted on a white canvas marked by a vivid red paint drip and framed with bold black edges.
The painting is a visual statement about today’s cultural landscape, where shallow conversations and empty dialogue often drown out genuine, soulful, and meaningful music. The phrase — sharp and ironic — captures a sense of loss: the fading presence of true art in a world overwhelmed by noise, trends, and pointless chatter.
The red drip on the white background suggests something raw and wounding — like the last drop of authenticity bleeding through a sterilized, over-processed reality. The black border adds graphic clarity and a sense of finality, reinforcing the inner tension between outer loudness and inner silence.
This collage painting doesn’t just catch the eye — it triggers an inner dialogue and invites reflection: where has the good music gone, and are we too busy talking to even hear it?
