| Description: |
The artist avoids
traditional proportions
to contain the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
A notable feature of this particular sketch is that it is a reflection of the artist's soul.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
short vertical line
representing
power and authority
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the painting into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the picture into
the world of duty, responsibility, discipline and work.
The receding curves are closed in a parody of celebration. Such forms, delicately modulated, create disarmingly intenste sensations. ``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] |
