MISS
MEAT POPPED UP RECENTLY FROM THE ITALIAN UNDERGROUND EXPOSING HER INNER FEELINGS
ON VERY HARDCORE CANVAS WORKS. I HAVE RARELY SEEN SUCH A VIOLENT KIND OF ART,
EQUALLY BALANCED BETWEEN THE SHOCK FACTOR AND A STRONG, ALMOST SWEET, CHILDISH
ATTITUDE. HER PAINTINGS ARE MADE AS IF A VERY PISSED OFF CHILD WAS VOMITING
BLOOD AND SHIT ON THE CANVAS. I'M SURE MOST OF YOU WILL HATE MISS MEAT, BUT
PROBABLY THIS IS HER PRIMARY TASK. I CAN JUST SAY THAT GARBAGE DUMP, FROM
THE NAME, IS THE PLACE TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS KIND OF STUFF AND IF YOU WANT TO
CALL IT USELESS TRASH, IT'S YOUR BUSINESS. BUT LET THE MISS SPEAK HER DARK
HEART OUT...
GD-Introduce your self to the readers
MM-There's not too much to say. Who usually surfs my web site knows very well
who I am. Regarding the others, you are incredible lucky. I hate introducing
myself, my creations speak enough for themselves. I'm a depressed painter
with lots of psychological problems. I scream and paint. This is my usual
life. I can't go out and the few times I tried, so many disasters has happened
that I convinced my roommate to bar doors and windows. I'm not able to live
a normal life, so I surround myself with insane stuff, my brain's creations
or just pure abstract fantasies that choke me and don't let me think that
I'm living, here, on this Earth like thousands other bloody excrements.
GD-
How did you start interesting yourself in extreme art and painting?
MM- I started to interest myself in extreme art just born. I have to confess
I think I got there through a strong feeling of rejection for normality. Since
I was a baby I looked for inspiration and excitement in the most macabre and
rotten stuff that a 4 years old baby can imagine in his minds. I've always
been passionate of every kind of horror and b-movies, and at 7 years old I
already bragged an enviable knowledge of the most sick and twisted sequences
to have ever been shown in movies. I adored to take a trip in the movie for
a couple hours. I parted from my body and real life, and I thought about killing
and seeing hot blood running down windows' glasses. Like rain dripping on
the pane. After movies I seriously got into the music world at 8 years old,
and my first "mentors" were Black Sabbath, Burzum and early Adolescents.
I didn't do all of this for passion, neither for a mere interest, I did it
just to survive. If art and music didn't take my hand, I would be dead, I
would have killed myself. I discovered extreme comics at 14 years old. At
first the erotic comics like Milo Manara's, later I got into the more cynical
and incorrect stuff like Brian the Brain. I bought them in old books stores
or stole them at my cousin's friends house. I have always noticed that girls
have the most disinterested behaviour towards this kind of subjects. Bitches.
Girls are all bitches. First to last. I have always been alone doing stuff
by myself. Reading or sketching comics, I started developing another personality,
which is sad to say you know, but if I wouldn't have suffered so much during
all my life as I still do, I wouldn't have gone so far to get hooked in this
stuff. My mind has always been desperate, I was calm and confused at the same
time thinking about killing any human being. I would have done and I would,
it's just matter of intelligence, not sickness. The only reason stopping me
was the consequences, the fact that any asshole could steal my freedom cutting
my wings by putting me in jail for a lifetime. Anyway, I decided not to stop
my unrepentant need for blood and sufferance transforming it into an impulse
to create, paint, shot videos, play music
Adding the pure artistic passion,
the best existing thing: transposing my emotions into arts, music, films
Of course, the more the artist suffers, the more the creations are sick and
mad.
GD-
The childhood subject is particularly developed in your creations, what can
you tell me about it?
MM- My childhood: a tragedy. In fact, Miss Meat's project wants to give voice
to a mad child using a brush with the same fury and intentions of a mad child
holding an axe. The picture is slain instead of a living body. That's why
it's called killer baby psycho art. Automatically the act of painting makes
the 3 years old Miss Meat coming out, exasperated and already depressed. Already
sated and disgusted by the few things reaching her eyes. I don't wanna talk
about my parent's judicial separation. It has happened, ok, but it has really
very little importance for my brain's motions. My childhood has been horrible
just by a person's mistake: MINE. It wasn't normal that a 4 years old child
asked herself questions whose answers were inconvenient or resides in the
minds of people living like outsiders, like me actually, the same me screaming
and paining if I have to go shopping at the mall in town meeting other humans.
Nobody understood me. Me neither. For this reason I started hating myself
and then hating who gave me life, starting to manifest violence and explicit
unconditional madness, and I got so mad at the point of trying to burn my
parent's house in an arson attempt. A 20 years old brain in a 4 years old
body has been my suicide. Living faster than I should have done, my conviction.
So the childhood subject evidenced in my works proceeds spontaneously from
my own inner meanders. Everything generates in childhood. The children know
the truth. Just them.
GD-
In my opinion your works have a strong colour contrast. Is there a particular
reason inducing you to use this technique?
MM- First of all don't talk about technique. Technique is something premeditate,
something following precise schemes applicable to most of the people indistinctly.
All this has nothing to do with my story! The colours spring up by the sentiments
I feel when I paint. Everything is unconscious. The colour contrast is maybe
a way to emphasize the subject in the paint, the principal topic, the concept,
what has to talk in place of a baby with a stitched up mouth, or a slain stomach,
it's a way to make the canvas I'm working on scream and shriek. I was talking
about technique above
don't confuse this with consciousness. An artist
has to be conscious to deserve his artist name. Conscious about what he's
doing, convinced that in that moment he creates or dies. A person sketching
a paint (even more obscene than mine) using consciousness is an artist. Who
doesn't suffer is not an artist. Dot.
GD- Twisted sex is very present in your
works. Do you have a negative sentimental background or you use this just
to shock people?
MM- If I answered the second one I would be idiot. Nothing shocks. Everything
is normal. The obscene doesn't exist. Nothing is excessive. Nothing exists.
Everything is fuckin' life rules, canons. Of course mice's life, but life
anyway, breathing. Diaphragm that goes up and down. My works don't shock.
This is the way I see life. This is life. If they shock or arouse fuss, I'm
not the owner of the twisted brain. The choice of sex as a constant for my
work is a product of my perversion. I like psychotic and sick sex 'cause that's
one of the few things I make for pleasure. By ignoring the rest of the world
I hate, I can take my revenges by practising this kind of sex. My sentimental
background is pure delirium. I've never felt sentiments until some time ago.
I've always seen the sex like violence, for me and the others. I've always
taken the sentimental anarchy politic. Fuck and shut up. I was very sick.
That's obvious. I don't know why, but I felt I had to make the others and
me pay for something big I've never fully understood. This is the way. Sex
like rescue and like alternative to a dark, cold box worst than death.
GD-
Rarely I've seen such a high graphic impact female art with so maked childish
tracts: do you draw inspiration from some women? What do you think about female
artists?
MM- No. I don't take inspiration from anybody. I know a lot about extreme
art. I mean, I would know even the most anonymous son of a bitch sketching
something on a canvas. If there would be a woman like me on the artistic side,
I would know her. Talking about artist women makes me laugh. There aren't
artist women at all. Or better, they are so few. Lots of sluts start to scribble
something or to sing something thinking they can attract more cocks with the
good excuse they're making their brains work. I would shot you down, bitches.
I hate women like I hate feminism. Women start doing something just for revenge
towards men, and of course the same kind of men they end up fucking big time.
They think they can dominate men but they are only exploited like fuckin'
slaves. Who likes feminism, likes the "anti-man", and in this way
the men is considered. I don't consider him at all. I don't care about such
bullshit, and I could go on for hours citing idiot women who start to act
in porn movies thinking they have gained power on the penis. Ok for the porn
movies, ok for hard pics ( that I did and I still do), but don't tell me this
is power cause I would laugh at you so hard. Women are idiot. In fact, I'm
not a woman. Not in my head. One of the few female artists deserving such
a name is Phoebe Gloeckner who also collaborated at Krankenhaus project (my
'zine). A Child Life's
mom. I fuckin' love her.
GD- What are your influences? Is there any comic artist or director having
an input on your paintings?
MM- Same thing, nobody influences my artistic imaginary. I can't do comparisons
with nobody else because I'm the one doing this kind of art (I don't know
anybody else so far
). My pain is the main influential factor for my
creations. Among the artists I know and which collaborated to my project,
I can tell you Miguel Angel Martin, Peter Sotos, Ivan Brunetti, wonderful
people. About novels, I remember Massimo Perissinotto, Matt Fucile, Richard
Laymon, Paolo di Orazio, Peter James, Shaun Hutson, Cristopher Fowler, Charles
Bukowski and many more. About cinema, I've already said that I love B-movies,
but if I must cite something that influenced my imaginary, I would name for
sure the first works of Dario Argento, especially because I saw them when
I was 6 years old during the highest point in my sickness. Even Halloween
is great.
GD- What role has music in your life? What
are the bands and genres you liked most?
MM- Without music I would be dead. This is sure. For music I mean death metal,
GG Allin, Adolescents, Black Sabbath. Nothing to say, music saved my life.
I've never been so much into any kind of scene, but I like tons of different
bands. Music is a strong input for me.
GD- Any final remark or statement for our
readers?
MM- Don't avoid sufference and check my site out.
