| Description: |
The
embellished
figure
enriches
a division of space that parallels
the divisions and interstices of the mind.
Such forms, quietly formal, create disarmingly intenste shivers of emotion.
Contrasts of the senses of sight and taste
emphasise
the
emptiness
of this carving.
An important part of this sculpture is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting tone and hue so clearly visible.
The here and now experience of size and perception in this sketch, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind graceful lissome curvilinear forms... ``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
