| Description: |
It is useful to note that the
major feature of Shaker æsthetics
is that it encourages the viewer
to understand form in terms of
area,
rather than mass.
Contrasts of the dualistic essense of unreality and salt
march across
the
vastness
of this piece.
The artist uses
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which in this way
subsist in a world of their own making.
The
writhing
curves
are
enjoined
in a glorious send-up of
misery.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
