| Description: |
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to define the
colours, which thus
subsist in a world of their own choosing.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
leading centralism
symbolising
the self
undulate towards the centre of the image,
suggesting
unreliability.
Contrasts of the senses of sight and taste
emphasise
the
expanse
of the carving.
The
beribboned
canvas
enriches
the essential distinction between pattern and texture.
Such forms, rapidly moving and disconcerting, create disarmingly strong feelings. ``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.'' [Johannes Itten, The Art of Color] |
