註釋Life Story is an animated and visually provocative installation of 100 paintings by Michael Kane. The paintings cover a very broad range of subject matter. They are rendered in ink, acrylic and collage, on arbitrary newssheet and glossy magazine pages. These paintings are overlaid on the text and images with no conscious or deliberate implications. The title, Life Story, has only a peripheral reference to the artists own life - some images that depict work-a-day minutiae are drawn from his personal lexicon. The installation as a whole is melancholy; the seemingly unrelated image strips articulate the transitory nature of most experiences, the insubstantial trivia that propel an individual and the brevity of an ordinary life. There is more than a hint of the propensity of humans to transgress: to find a slender place on the verge of society to play out fantasies or brutalities.
