Llyn Foulkes

"You are about to see a surrealistic study of an infantile creator"

This documentary follows painter and musician Lyn Foulkes from age 70 to 77 as he labors to complete two astonishing tableaux that demonstrate his outsider's perspective and eye for evocative imagery. As his reworking of one piece stretches into its second decade, we watch Foulkes' righteous contempt for the establishment erode, replaced by a yearning for the recognition he's due.

Ominous moving objects create tension while a ‘happy’ song plays. Stanya Kahn’s morbid, humorous collaboration with painter Llyn Foulkes, whose unique three-dimensional approach serves as an inspiration, features the artist blindfolded, covered with blood and dust, and an original song written and performed by Foulkes.
