There is a Japanese visual art in which the artist is forced to be spontaneous. He must paint on a thin stretched parchment with a special brush and black water paint in such a way that an unnatural or interrupted stroke will destroy the line or break through the parchment. Erasures or changes are im- possible. These artists must practice a par- ticular discipline, that of allowing the idea to express itself in communication with their hands in such a direct way that deliberation cannot interfere.The resulting pictures lack the complex composition and textures of ordinary paint- ing, but it is said that those who see will find something captured that escapes explanation.-excerpt from

Traveling the world, John Gomi is still constantly “searching for the perfect beat.” Focusing as of late on hard electonic & indie-dance as well as the more pulsing, deep, & minimal excursions, such as vocal NY, throbing Berlin, with that,”French-Touch”, along with the fashion’s, designers, artists that have been inspired by those sounds.Maintaining a residence in Austin, TX (with a brief stint in New Orleans) since the early 1990’s John Gomi has been a part of just about every incarnation of the Austin electronic dance scene, most recently with his monthly party Paparazzi Welcome, Austin’ premier disko punk /neu-new wave dance party with partner in crime Kangaroo Sexxxy. A Party that’s got austin dancing to a different beat.John Gomi currently divides his time between DJing events, fashion shows for organizations like Ducati , AMODA, etc.,OUTLAW PARTIES,recording with his group City of Hungry Ghosts, his Label GOMIHEARTELECTRIC www.gomiheartelectric.com, & painting & graphic design.
