This Is The Day
The themes of painting take on shape only through painting, which determines the subject as it emerges from the work.
The subject is implicit, unpronounceable, it just is.
The chance effect of the paint on the canvas, paint as the index of the physical act.
Engage the gesture. Not the artist’s signature move, but the universal sign, not belonging to one but common to all. It says nothing about I and everything about Us. Our mark is the collective being.
The paintings recall the un-representable materiality that constitutes them.
Rescue the image from the medium.
Sky space considered as total space, as everything outside of oneself, as all possibility.
The sky defies perspective, the sky overtakes.
‘celestial light’, ‘anti-gravitational ascension’, ‘heavenly transcendence’,
Wonder, disbelief, salvation. The miraculous.
The idea of painting as a conduit to other states of awareness.
A vision of painting, the dream of painting, idealised..
