| Description: |
A temporally
changing
evanescence,
the essential identity
of which
remains unchanged,
is always completely altered
by the mere presence
of the environment.
A central underlying meaning of this sketch is the dominant angularity and horizontality
contrasting strongly with
the impersonal forms and industrial colours so clearly visible.
A central underlying meaning of this work is the here and now experience of
brightness and shade
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting tone and hue so clearly visible.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
