Pretentious Yet Pointless
The artist uses traditional proportions to contain the colours, which thus subsist in a world of their own doing. Contrasts of night and day emphasise the vastness of this image. The figured ground belies the essential difference between pattern and texture.
``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]
