| Description: |
A central underlying meaning of this work is the world of sugar and wine
contrasting strongly with
the strongly
contorted
downward
flying
elements so clearly visible.
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which in this way
float free.
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images rich
in insight and emotive power...
The artist employs
traditional proportions
to restrict the
colours, which thus
float free.
The artist uses
a limited canvas
to contain the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own making.
The spectator is drawn by the
relationship of the viewer
of the prototype into
the world of the senses of sight and touch.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
