| Description: |
A notable feature of this work is the emphatically factual experience of
form and space
contrasting strongly with
the arena of contrasting tone and hue to indicate the pattern of unconscious thought.
A perpetually
changing
glammerdummering,
the essential identity
of which
is always constant,
is always transformed
by the mere presence
of the viewer.
A central underlying meaning of this particular work is that it is a primary natural sense
which belongs to the basic senses of
our inner self.
The impersonal forms and industrial colours in this doodle,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
images steeped
in insight and emotive power...
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
