Pretentious Yet Pointless
An interesting aspect of this drawing is the here and now experience of the senses of smell and sound contrasting strongly with the arena of contrasting salt and pepper so clearly visible. Such forms, both monumental and tranquil, create disarmingly strong feelings. The ornamented figure belies not completely abstract.
A particularly contentious aspect of this particular picture is that it is not completely abstract.
``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.'' [describing Alex Garcin, Untitled 2004]
