Vita von Chris Novi

Geboren am 17.12.1976 als C. S. Pengl in Klosterneuburg, erwuchs Chris Novi durch zahlreiche Traumata zum ART BRUT & OUTSIDER ARTisten mit psychischer Behinderung. Mit seiner Kunst bringt Chris sein Erlebtes - ohne stilistische Grenzen - in Wort, Bild und Klang zum Ausdruck. Dadurch rückt sein sozialer Status ins Zentrum der Betrachtung. Im Œuvre des Outsiders sind Traumata die vorherrschenden Themen. Dabei bringt er in jedem Werk die eigene Person, familienbiografische Elemente sowie Aspekte der Kategorien Psyche, Stigma, Freundschaft, Motiv, Werteempfinden und Erscheinung mit ein. Einfach, menschlich, antiakademisch und roh. Chris inszeniert sich mit seiner Kunst selbst, indem er sein Gegenüber auffordert, ihn mit dem Kunstwerk oder auch nur das Kunstwerk selbst bzw. dessen Einzelteile zu betrachten. Zusammengefasst zeigt Chris Novi mit seinem Kunstschaffen ein einmalig breites Spektrum der Arbeit eines psychisch Behinderten und gesellschaftlich Stigmatisierten; den leidenschaftlichen Ausdruck eines Mediumisten ("von einem Geist geführten Künstler", Anm.), der es durch einen ungebrochenen Lebenswillen geschafft hat, den eigentlichen Kern des Menschseins zum Ausdruck zu bringen und diesen auch für andere sichtbar zu machen. Von 1980 bis in die Gegenwart - und seiner Zeit wohl weit voraus.

My Baby Michelle (Words & Music by Chris Novi) When I saw you in that bar Through the cold haze of drugs I felt a warmth as you came near You blew away my hidden fears. Late in the morning A cab drove us home You said I don’t wanna be alone I can’t believe it – but it’s really true! I thank you God for my Baby Michelle I’m so happy, I can’t even tell I will love her till the end of my days I love her so much, my Baby Michelle! Our Lord gave us a second chance To live this love, a true romance To love each other like lovers should I feel and know it and I knew we could! And still you top my hopes Create a star of love Looking into these eyes – we’re one - you and me In the eyes of our baby – our baby Lucy! I thank you God for my Baby Michelle I’m so happy, I can’t even tell I will love her till the end of my days I love her so much, my Baby Michelle!

Human Silence (Words & Music by Chris Novi) The world is turning ‘round and ‘round The seekers have not found What they were looking for and for For more and more and more. The world is turning ‘round and ‘round As you’re listening to these sounds Please make love – not violence Feel the breath enjoy the silence. Hah ah ah Hah ah ah Hah ah ah ah Hah ah ah Hah ah ah Hah ah ah ah ah ah The world is turning ‘round and ‘round The seekers finally found What they were looking for but they Don’t need it anymore The world keeps turning ‘round and ‘round As you’ve understood these sounds You’ve made love not violence Your world may just find silence.

Forget You (Words & Music by Chris Novi) My life was like a rollercoaster Riding to get on a poster Always meant to be a star You didn’t have faith in me at all. My life felt like purgatory Never a happy ending story Reaching out and begging for Hope – you left me crying at your door! Forget you after all Don’t ever try to call It’s hard for me so let it be Forget you after all. You said I’d never be a hero And watched me crash on to ground zero Now you can watch me live success Cause without you there’s no excess! I feel so sad but I can’t cry Don’t tell me I have never tried Thoughts are running – the curtain falls You still don’t have no faith in me at all! Forget you after all Don’t ever try to call It’s hard for me so let it be Forget you after all. ’Your life is like a rollercoaster. Your life is like purgatory. You’ll never be a hero.’ Forget you after all Don’t ever try to call It’s hard for me so let it be Forget you after all.

Genius Failure (Words & Music by Chris Novi) Jesus was a pedicurist All he wanted was nursing feet What others saw in the ‘Son of God’ Was all he didn’t seek. I think he was a baker and Just wanted to bake bread But people claimed that he worked wonders And tortured him to death. Jesus – oh Jesus if you could live today And see the people’s falseness You wouldn’t wanna stay! Some say that you were a genius Epiphany moment failed! Jesus was a splendid speaker Saying what had to be said But all the so called ‘wise men’ Sell his story to this day. Everything that Jesus was Is also inside of you Believe in Jesus, not in me But believe it – it’s the truth! Jesus – oh Jesus, if you could live today And see the people’s falseness You wouldn’t wanna stay! Some say that you were a genius Epiphany moment failed! Jesus – oh Jesus, if you could live today And see the people’s falseness You wouldn’t wanna stay! Some say that you were a genius Epiphany moment failed!
