KATAR(T)SKI (derived from the Greek kátharsis) is the artistic work of the Belgian painter, composer and writer I.D. from Zingem, East-Flanders.
"And then suddenly there is that flow of thoughts that doesn't seem to come to an end. Like impatient words that shamelessly impose themselves on me, looking for sound, a sounding board. A new work comes to life. Then I must stand still. Start questioning. Grope around. Dig deeper. Move and be moved. Hurt if necessary. Someone has to."
"Every canvas, every work of art, each title, phrase or composition, they are merely the pieces of an unlabeled puzzle. My lyrics and poems, my musical thoughts, they are just shortcuts that lead to a better understanding of the core of my work."
I.D. lives from his art. Or more precise, art keeps him alive. His work is exhibited at public locations in Belgium and abroad - mostly in a multimedia format, and was seen previously on television, and in a number of leading (international) publications. Most of his published work for piano has been composed as a soundtrack to his paintings, while his poems serve as the accompanying subtitles to the whole. His music is available on Spotify, SoundCloud, iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal and Deezer. |
