This is a truly moving piece, and one that could single-handedly convey to an audience a thousand years from now the sweat, light, human reality of its subject. "Music Fight" touches in a personal and technical context, both reminding and inspiring the heart or eye in the vortex of mind.

I have been practicing the ivory harp "professionally" on and off for about a decade. In the whole of memory, this image, your "Music Fight" reminds me so much of the earlier gigs of a fellow of the craft: one Eli Mattson. I can remember him looking like the drifting foci of Afremov's fluid fractures of light, which poured from the floods through the smoke of the bars and halls of Green Bay like the gold of el Dorado and the nephrite spires of Oz. Your musician is beyond any one of us, however, an archon set in a tapestry fit for an icon of prayer.

The nature of the shape, ratio and color usage, in my opinion as a student, seems to reflect more of Afremov's impressionist side than the surreal... the surrealism of this seems to reside in the more ethereal aspects of the piece. Note, for instance, the ruddy invasions in the bluer shadow of the back. These "jester checks" have a factually vibratory effect on the eyes, to put it in the often cumbersome lingua franca of optical engineering. This vibrational circumstance hits the eye at the same time as the cold tones on the forearm react with the equal electricity of the nebula in the upper left.

The greater part of my thoughts remain staggered at the work, the Work! I wouldn't know how to frame it! There is a certain graceful inconsistency to the way it moves, as to deny a firm end to its play on one's attention or its sway on one's periphery as well.

I might set it in a glass suspension, in front of a pleated black or deep red or even royal purple or a very burnt orange, with only cross-lighting on the curtain, like a David Lynch scene, but with hot white from above, below and direct to the piece itself, with the fresnel-style obliqueness that avoids blinding the audience or creating glare in the glass... maybe frost-etching the edges of the frame to accommodate an aura. I would only dare such a thing with a large print, big enough to be seen beyond or next to a Bosendorfer grand (they have an extra octave of bass!) at a nice subdued venue/event.

In short, the work "Music Fight" will continue to be viewed as an icon by this humble student, and the artist to be a visionary heart with a steady hand and exploded pineal gland. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world!

I think you captured something extremely hard to express in this art form... well done, it's beautiful
