Nearly three years since quintessential arts© was founded its story has been nothing short of substance, remarkable growth and still exudes the feeling of a damn near mythical organization.
Almost always hard to believe that it’s been built on a shoestring budget.
With backhanded compliments and more than half the time assaults at societal norms, political establishments, and constant criticism and dissection to the religion by which it is built on from aesthetics to references.
2022 served as a critical year to the quintessential arts© rigmarole, The Aesthetic of Opulence L.P was released and finally it felt like the formulae which took 3 Sonical Installations that sounded staticky and dusty like they were recorded in Dallas by Don Law had finally paid off so it was fair to make the assumption that this installation would be the final installation.
The project was well rounded with a story built on chess, a runtime of 16 minutes and the trade off in “act i” felt like we were back in ‘96 with verses being traded every other second with a beat leaning more towards silence than sound.
“the future of quintessential arts©” couldn’t be further from the truth, when you think quintessential arts© “versatility and sheer creativity instantly come to mind” “it’s not going to touch not just a certain demographic but a wide one and thus lead to an exponential growth.”
If The Aesthetic of Opulence L.P was the first time the formulae were perfected then a sequel is only right, and it’ll certainly live up to the predecessor.
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.
