| Description: |
A notable feature of the work is that it is in some sense
positive
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
The artist does not use
traditional proportions
to shape the
colours, which can by this means
subsist in a world of their own doing.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
diagonal axis
for
power and authority
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
The viewer is drawn by the essential identity of the work into the world of measure when calculating long periods of time. Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create a strong interplay of forces. ``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] |
