Prior to its release, the 3rd delivery had coverted tie-dye/spray painted merchandise in circulation during prototype stages with a fair share of external creatives asking to have a hand in this project, a testament to its potential. This would translate to its sonical counterpart “The Sonic L.P (Deluxe Edition)” being home to some of Quintessential Arts' most experimental sounds through and through. As a clothing piece? Upon release it was a tamed collection; just shy of three colorways, acting as new age canvases for these revered works and the figures behind them, the champagne colorway being symbolic of our philosophy, the black colorway symbolizing secrecy and nobility, the white symbolic of love and purity - all this while in the process of building a foundation tied by mythology, the renaissance with a dose of luxe, grit and unorthodox methodologies of engaging in discourse - that’s the 3rd delivery, an attempt at poking the hornets' nest for the rest of our days.
Quintessential Arts is a multidisciplinary omnipresent artistic organisation - the name is derived from the fifth essence interpreted as æther in addition to the four elements thought to compose the heavenly bodies in Ancient Greek philosophy. The organisation is driven by reinvention, reinterpretation and recreation of older works encoded by its garments and decoded through the sonic. Just as science and religion go hand in hand, the garments go hand in hand with the sonic as well as other mediums such as literary pieces used to set the stage for every season respectively thus setting it apart from what the masses have become accustomed to. Quintessential Arts is an organisation whose purpose is to challenge the natural order of things, be the voice of reason and critique, make those that don’t identify with the status quo identify themselves with it.
Quintessential Arts is a multidisciplinary omnipresent artistic organisation founded August 8th, 2020 in Johannesburg South, South Africa.
