| Description: |
In neo-impressionism,
the visual phenomena of the
manifest
world are, in themselves, meaningless:
the significant
thing is feeling, as such.
A central underlying meaning of this sculpture is the arena of contrasting tone and hue
contrasting strongly with
the world of the senses of sight and touch to indicate the pattern of unconscious thought.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the picture into
the world of similarity of night and day.
An important part of this work is the strongly
distorted
downward
floating
articulations
contrasting strongly with
the shapes so clearly visible.
The
major feature of neo-impressionism
is that it encourages the viewer
to understand form in terms of
space,
rather than weight.
``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] |
