| One might be tempted before examining Kurt Palomaki’s painting in detail to ascribe his peculiar inventiveness to what the unenlightened critic would categorize as the genius of the outsider artist, meaning in essence that such abandoned creativity is the product of the life-force itself, of the universal unconscious. This might have been said of Georges Rouault or Henri Rousseau as well. A few extraordinary painters are recognized not only for the compelling immediacy of their work, but more importantly for the conviction inherent in each work that painting is an act of revelation. Kurt Palomaki has found himself in that place. Marcus Reichert, 2001 |
