I recall a legend of King David receiving a letter, being threatened by seven armies. He answers he will attack with 700 armies instead. I was listening the White strips, making sweat drip out of every pore. Suddenly, a rapture of fundamental rage of wanting to create without any rational barriers. Blinded by creational fury, I wrote in my diary “F**k reason, this is the time of the Holy Spirit! My Nightmare Neon Funky Deer, dear. Ever harder lust, brighter, f**king deeper. I’ll dig you tougher, the brighter the better! This is the time of Me. You don’t understand man, you’re wrong man. I’m right. I’ll deduce, I’ll tell you where the boundary is. It’s on the Rhein man, on the Limes. I’m right, you’re wrong. Except for Martin Luther King, he’s more right than I am. The Holy Spirit, it’s forever coming! Rawhide!” And seven pictures kick in. Pictures, one series.

The work of Rombout Oomen (Amsterdam, 1975) finds itself on a cutting edge of opposites. The compositions of Oomens paintings seem to be inspired by the period of the Enlighten- ment. But in the performances of its scenes, cool rationalism is the only absentee. The light that shines in his work is flaming and dangerous. The people portrayed entered somewhere in the eighteenth century at Jacques-Louis David’s revolutionary and thrilling environment. Perfumed, well cut and fit, they began celebrating a decent and enlightened ball. In Rombout Oomen’s work, they finish possessed, stuffed and tired without illusions in a bacchanal where they never found the exit. Unhinged in a circus carousel that led them drunk through the night. No reason, love or salvation remains. Only worn out lust and grotesque concepts, which per- haps give moments of thrill and instant happiness – but do not ask for how long. Rombout Oomen likes to paint in series. Such as his Slumberland Manifesto. Often he chooses large formats – wall paintings, factory size cloths in industrial buildings or just one side of a skyscraper – such as his Swan on the A’DAM-tower on the river IJ in Amsterdam. Work who does not hesitate to rather shout out something, though that call is more ambiguous than you think. As the work of Oomen is expressive, but never noisy. If you take the time to study on his euphoric pictures you will discover somewhere in the depth a hushed poignant element. You’re going to suspect that in the darkest corner of his work a Romantic element lays bare. As has been said: the cutting edge of contradictions
