The Artist of
POSSIBILITY
Magazine
These “dimensional/dynamic” “abstract” paintings explore and investigate forms used as power objects which derive their power from the irrational—i.e. “magic.” They are mystical forms, religious icons, mystic diagrams, relics, magical forms, and evoke essential states. They comment on the history and relationship of art, philosophy, spiritual practice, and healing, and manifest and evoke the “healing” power inherent in all forms. These particular works derive their inspiration from Hindu yantras (power diagrams) and the mystical orientation of western art from the ancient “Mystery Schools” of Classical Antiquity through Renaissance iconography through Mondrian.
These works teeter on the brink of painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation and question the categorization of forms. They embody a dialectic of illusive opposites in dynamic tension—color and form, color and line, texture and shape, figure and ground, intentionality and unintentionality, mass and energy, presence and absence—serving as visual koans.
These works are questions for contemplation. They serve as icons for imaginary churches and relics for imaginary shrines. They are religious/contemplative art for faiths and philosophies that do not yet exist, and for future manifestations/incarnations/ revelations of current faiths. They are a re-visioning of philosophy/spirituality/art/ healing for this era.
