The Dark Side - 2009, Headbones Gallery
From dark matt shadow
boxes, suspended by surgical clips, chains, pins and needles, Scott Jensen's
sensitive graphite drawings bring a Goth flavour of celebrated horror.
Skulls, gnashing teeth, guns, knives, razor blades and bullets tell smudgy
stories of dungeons and punishments. Jensen has tales to tell, having lived
through a shooting and a car accident where he was run over and then flung
over a meridian and hit by a second car coming from the opposite direction.
He has a bouncer's memories of evening evictions and in stature and style,
he cuts a formidable biker-like presence with a hand so soft, rendering so
delicate, attention to the small so loving, that the cutting edge is felt
personally, as keen as a slice.
