"Stefanos is an old friend and a long time fan of our band Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Naturally, when he conceived this project, he wanted to know my thoughts and we have had many in depth discussions since.
I have been supportive of the project not just because he is a friend, not just because I believe him to be a really interesting artist, and not just because the paintings are all based on an album that I was involved in. I also feel strongly about this particular set of works because to my knowledge no artist has attempted a series of paintings on this scale based on a set of songs from an album; to my thinking it is a unique and timely artistic conceit."

A fairly low-key "live" album, recorded for radio in front of a small audience. Would have liked a "proper" live album instead but this is also a nice addition to Nick Cave's work. "Mercy Seat" in particular stands out as perhaps being the best version yet and I like the "Push the Sky Away" songs better here than on the original album. Recommended for Nick Cave fans. #nickcave #nickcaveandthebadseeds #livefromkcrw #viennaacoustics #thegryphon #soundsmith #smetonearm #nowplaying #nowspinning #nowlistening #vinyl #vinyllove #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinylcollection #recordoftheday #vinylcommunity #vinylnerd #Recordcollection #onmyturntable #musiclover #vinylcollectionpost #vinyljunkie

@lifomag : What do you think of Stefanos Rokos' project, and the fact that a Greek artist was influenced by this particular album of yours and made a whole artistic project for it?
@nickcaveofficial : I am fascinated by Stefanos Rokos’ strange and visionary art - the cluttered, over-saturated areas of impacted memory, the vast, sometimes blank canvases, the sudden erotics, the repeated dreams and reveries, similar images that migrate from painting to painting - all these things are very close to the way I write songs. I think we have an affinity as artists, in that respect.
I understand the paintings and feel very close to them as they are the visual counterpart to my often oblique and fractured words. Especially the obsessive detail and the shattered narratives, tossed up against wide open space. Stefanos is a serious and committed painter, who through the process of this work has become a dear friend. It has been honour working with him.

I'm back! I had to study a lot these past weeks, but, thankfully, yesterday was my last day of high school ever. Now I need to study for the entrance exam for university, but I guess I'll have more time to post some great photos of our great Nick. Like this one for example #nickcave #nickcaveandthebadseeds
