Artist Statement:
All is proportion
I am sitting, a cup of tea,
some good music, a brush in
hand and i am gone. There is
nothing better: I forget where
I am, who I am, and all sense
of time. As Picasso once said:
"I leave my body outside the
studio." Or something like
that...
I am working on a picture of a
lady on a mechanical horse.
Why? What is the significance
of that? I have no idea. If it
"works" pictorially, then do
it. Paint first, ask questions
later. Too many questions and
the muse runs screaming. She
is very shy. You have too
pretend that she is not there
when she comes, but you know
she is there because you have
no idea what time it is, and
you have forgotten your self
again.
It occurs to me as I proceed,
that the lines stop being
objects and start to become
something else. Pure
proportion. Just a harmony of
lengths, sizes, and shapes; a
prototype Mondrian. Harmony,
music, interval, number; all
these things are related. It
is the link between art,
music, and science. A good
painting vibrates, because of
the resonance of its parts.
Vibrates visually, and
psychologically...
