There is something immediately unsatisfying about calling a piece of art abstract expressionist, and perhaps that's the point. You are using the strictures of language to talk about explosive, visceral forces; the role of the critic and writer is to invent ways to avoid talking about it. If we had the luxury of invention, Noël Skrzypczak's work is perhaps better described as 'paint art' than painting itself, and we'd have to use poetics to arrive at satisfactory descriptions.
Bleeding, alien globs coruscate and moan while nearby, intricate filigree longdripped down into ugly chaos. Skrzypczak's styles move from canvas to wall to installation, but consistent across them are the same luscious, lysergic and sometimes paranoia-inducing patterns of colour and flow. Images blend, burst and appear in a carnivalesque atmosphere. This kind of art can sometimes signify mere chaos (and render itself mute in the process), but Skrzypczak's work screams physicality, noise and energy, and vibrates the body of the visitor. Come on, feel the noise.
