And as every artist does, he makes both meet at the same point. I believe Echo’s work seeks eternity, the incredible eternity of that lost garden that he wishes to find in reality, in his work, in that place where the mother is always responding to the needs of the flowers, of rain, of earth… I assume that Echo does not know the difference between reality and fantasy. The shapes and the transparent bodies emerge as a mystery, asking one question: what can we do with the mystery of the other? While the shape-characters try to be camouflaged among colors, they appear naked to show their inner side, where the artist builds his melancholic self, longing for the past which has been lost, together with hope. They are linked to the past, and it is as if they also encourage us to rebuild those houses lost in our memory. We feel in each of Echo’s houses there is a whole world. There is only some silence, some loneliness, and some beauty in the landscape which can only be achieved when man does not interfere with nature to build a new highway so as to drive faster from mall to mall. Echo’s houses seem to have escaped from the destructive manipulation of human beings. In Echo’s work we find fantastic characters: invisible an evanescant birds, wild flowers on plowed land, trees in woods devoured by deforestation, and transparent cars which do not polute the air, running along back roads. He makes me wonder: is it possible to create without being autistic? Is autism the material, the substance masterpieces are made of? Dumont said: “all artists are autists.” In that case, Echo is the greatest artist among autists. spaces large and small, the Echo Side Table is a sleek workhorse. Maybe Pollock is the intellectual ancestor of every autistic artist, or as Dr. It includes everything you need to play including a game board, 12-sided die, rulebook and over 220 cards that pay homage to everything Juggalos love. When I look at Echo’s paintings, I can’t help remembering “When I am painting I’m not aware of what I’m doing.” These are important words, necessary to understand autistic art. Into the Echoside features game play and a theme that is unique to any other deck building game.
