" I am reminded of a cliché that Frankie (Lloyd Wright) repeated to my father before the latter's passing, that there is 'nothing new under the sun',
but Aversa's unique post-modern/neo-convoluted dystopianism negates Lloyd Wright's idiocy in its anthropomorphic genesis and turns Pollock's and
Krasner's organized chaos (latin. organalicarum chaoticum) into 'dis-organized order', an apt aphor-type ism about Aversa's work that de Kooning
once purportedly had whispered into the ear of Rothko's bastard son's best friend, and he may have also hinted that Aversa changed
modern art 'forever' . . . . . . ., and if you can make any god-damned sense out of the gibberish that just spewed from
my mouth, please let me know so I can figure out what the fuck it is that I am talking about . . .
