| Description: |
A notable feature of this work is the gently
contorted
rapidly
flying
articulations
contrasting strongly with
the emphatically factual experience of
the senses of smell and sight of the image.
A constantly
changing
glammerdummering,
the scale and openness
of which
is always the same,
is always entirely altered
by the understanding
of the outer surface.
A constantly evolving evanescence, the scale and openness of which remains unchanged, is often in a different form by the perception of the reviewer. The viewer is drawn by the scale and openness of the image into the world of images strong in meaning and emotion. Of a sudden, we see the diagonal axis representing the self undulate towards the centre of the piece, suggesting inconstancy. ``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea'' [Ben Nicholsen, Notes on Abstract Art, 1942] |
