The self-taught artist began his career in the media world, then shifted course to a space of gentle, serene melancholy. There, he listens, silent, to the movements and murmurings of life bustling around him, transporting him elsewhere, to a place filled with tranquillity and mystery – a place where his sketches, studies and portraits no doubt reside before they come to him.
The tilted faces that fill his work, reminiscent of the Italian renaissance with touches of Lynch and Modigliani, reveal what each becomes, dreams of: hope for a return, a wish to come true, a life to come. Each story crystallises there, each inspiration, each moment, before – in a single whisper – becoming allegorical figures that resonate across time, echoing all that has lived and all that is alive.
Disch’s lines convey the very essence of his subjects, transforming them into timeless, meditative beings contemplating the artist and substantiating him.
