| Description: |
An interesting aspect of this prototype is the world of the senses of smell and sight
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting salt and pepper so clearly visible.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
leading centralism
symbolising
the inner ego
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
Paradoxically,
we see the
leading centralism
representing
strength
undulate towards the centre of the work,
suggesting
unreliability.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the work into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
A deep underlying meaning of this picture is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the shapes so clearly visible.
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to restrict the
colours, which therefore
float free.
``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 owe little to the appearance of observed reality.'' [Brian Keeble, on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11, London, 1990, p.114] |
