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.
ABOUT US
Quintessential Arts is an artistic organization that takes art to a broader spectrum, the name acts as something the organization stands for - the fifth essence, quintessential arts epitomizes what art is by recreating, reinventing, reiterating, and reinterpreting creations from previous centuries thereafter creating clothes which encode the ideas then decoding the ideas through the sonic.
Just like there is no religion without science and there isn't science without religion, as an organization working on several projects at one go quintessential arts is aware that without the sonic there are no garments and without the garments there is no sonic, lockscreens and other endeavors which set it apart from a typical artistic organization.
For quintessential arts the goal is to challenge the natural order of things, be the voice of reason and make those that don't identify with the status quo identify with it.
Many would assume there isn’t anything particularly astounding about the origins of the word ‘quintessential’ at a glance it is quite French and can be broken down into essential and then presumably essence. But what about the quint part? Think quintet or quintuplets. Quintessence literally means the ‘fifth essence’. Going back through medieval French to Latin, as quinta essential. It was used in classical and medieval philosophy to refer to: a fifth substance in addition to the four elements, thought to compose the heavenly bodies and to be latent in all things.
At heart quintessential arts is an organization that draws its inspiration from 90’s hip-hop culture and mythology.
