If you’d told us 3 years ago on the day that Quintessential Arts was founded that 1 year ago on March 22nd, 2023, we’d release a season that was nothing short of an assault on the establishments the populous has come to love, rely on and not question regardless of how they’ve drifted away from what brought them to fruition, we would’ve believed you. Quintessential Arts is a product of discontentment with the natural order of things it challenges the school of thought the majority subscribes to. In no way does the organization represent anarchy, only a pursuit of truth in its purest form, no matter how upsetting and unsettling. Forever questioning "big brother" as he operates within the grey area or the supreme being as he lets big brother continue insulting human intelligence, that’s if humans are intelligent beings to begin with. For all we know we coexist with extraterrestrial life cloaked as humans. Perhaps our pursuit for truth within the art space is displaced, maybe Quintessential Arts should be operating as a vigilante agency colouring outside the borders? Solely dedicated to exposing frauds? Criminal enterprises disguised as government agencies, snow storm and human trafficking pastors? Soothsayers making brother kill brother over land, some coin and a slice of bread? No we’re just pulling your leg, we didn’t mean to scare you. Yet, this is reality as we know it.
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.
