The "Bright Colors / Dark Emotions" exhibition opened at MOBA's original gallery, in the basement of a private home in Boston. The show centered around a collection of eight paintings pulled from the same trash pile.

On a cool, windy August night, Scott Wilson, MOBA curator, came upon a discovery that would change his life and the future of this museum. "It was big, I just didn't know how big" said Wilson, recalling the moment of discovery. He ordered the car to stop, "backup" he screamed. As he leapt from the car, the top most painting blew from the pile. The one below was even worse!. One, two .. seven, eight .. each one worse than the last. "I laughed, I wept, I danced in the street". "What is it? Who did them?" called a voice from the car. "It's unknown" Scott replied, "It's Unknown"

"Suicide"

Bloody cloud bursts in an otherwise clear sky, frothing nostrils as the bovine beast dives, lemming like, and misses the phosphorescent, oily swimming hole.

"Tables Have Turned "

The most disturbing piece in this series by Unknown. The anger screams from the canvas, the dysfunctional family fumes after fury's exit left.

"Vortex"

A black road, tangential to a reservoir, a leering disembodied head, its almost solid shadow spewing blood. Don't drink the water.

***Note that another of Unknown's works - "Circus of Despair" is displayed in the Frances Jackson Gallery
