UP AGAINST THE WALL

Portrait of the Rocker as a Crap Artist

Miqqi Sfinkter: I Don’t Feel So Good

Self-Portrait, (2012) Miqqi Sfinkter, created by CRAIYON

Following in the footsteps of fellow rockers David Bowie, Kurt Cobain, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, Sir Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan, singer Miqqi Sfinkter, of the influential post punk band Asps, Very Dangerous is having a first-time-ever gallery show of his paintings titled, Miqqi Sfinkter: I Don’t Feel So Good.

At the opening night gala Sfinkter said, “I’m not really what you’d call ‘talented’. But I do have quite a bit of unstructured time on my hands and if actual, better painters are denied gallery space because of my self-indulgent pissing about, well, that’s very punk, innit?”

Below are selected works from the show and Sfinkter’s explantory notes.

Whiskey & Frogs, (2005) Miqqi Sfinkter, created by CRAIYON

“This was before my second rehab. My band was on hiatus and I went into a heavy outlaw country phase. I used to sing Merle Haggard songs with these two frogs, Pancho & Lefty, cry for a few weeks and wake up naked in the woods. The curator here told me I traded this painting for a pint of George Dickel and a bag of fried cheese curds.”

New Year’s Eve, Las Vegas (2017) Miqqi Sfinkter, created by CRAIYON

“This was two days after I got out of my second rehab. A DJ I met at Betty Ford told me I should transition into EDM and it took three sleepless days of TSEE-UMP, TSEE-UMP, TSEE-UMP for me to realize that I fucking hate EDM. Gave me chest pains. That and the three keys of yayo that I hoovered off the carpet. At the hospital in Vegas, paramedics told me I also snorted up a pound of purple shag fibers. And some ants.”

Clownz ’n’ Pillz (2020) Miqqi Sfinkter, created by CRAIYON

“So, I’m in the back of a limo with a very famous friend who I can’t name because of some — ha! — outstanding warrants. He plops 8 pills into my hand and says, that’s the boy, Miqqi, down you go. I don’t know what they were but, because I have a reputation to maintain, down they went. Ten minutes later, my brain was melting. I’m surrounded by terrifying freaks wearing ripped, sparkly clothes while deafening, nightmarish noises echoed through my skull. Dizzy. Nauseous. Passed out cold. Next morning, I looked at the New York Post. Apparently, last night I won three MTV Music Awards. True story.”

Miqqi Sfinkter: I Don’t Feel So Good can be seen at the Caldwell Gallery in Chelsea until March 15.
