| Description: |
The
endless
curves
are
intertwined
in a homage to
misery.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the work,
suggesting
inconstancy.
A notable feature of this image is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours so clearly visible.
The shapes in this image,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images strong
in insight and emotive power...
A particularly contentious aspect of this piece is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the world of sugar and wine of the carving.
An interesting side of the doodle is that it is the sensuality of intoxification.
The spectator is drawn by the
essential identity
of the work into
the world of contrast of the senses of smell and taste.
An interesting aspect of this image is the world of honey and beer
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting the senses of smell and taste of the image.
Such forms, quietly formal, create a strong interplay of forces.
``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]
