Abstract Art in Modern and Contemporary Context
The concept of abstract art has been a central theme in my work and philosophy. Abstract art allows me to delve into the emotional and intellectual depths of human experience, transcending the limitations of representational forms. My large, colour field paintings serve as a metaphor for the infinite and the transcendent, inviting viewers to engage with the abstract and the profound. I believe that art should evoke a sense of the abstract, a feeling that transcends the ordinary and touches the deeper aspects of human existence. The artist’s role is to create a space where the viewer can experience a direct, unmediated encounter with the artwork, which I refer to as a “pure” experience.
In my written work “The Abstract is Now,” I argue that abstract art can be found in the present moment, in the here and now, rather than in the grandiose and historical. I reject the traditional narrative and representational aspects of art, focusing instead on the raw, emotional impact of colour and form. My large, colour field paintings are designed to create an environment where the viewer can confront the abstract and experience a sense of awe and wonder.
The Role of Colour and Form
The use of colour and form is central to my artistic practice. My colour field paintings are minimalist and precise, yet they evoke a powerful emotional response. The vertical stripes in my paintings are not mere lines but elements that create a sense of tension and balance, drawing the viewer into a space of contemplation. These stripes serve as a focal point, a moment of clarity amidst the vast, expansive fields of colour. They are a visual representation of the human presence in the universe, a reminder that even in the infinite, there is a place for the individual.
Chaos and Order in My Sculptures
My sculptures, which range from tall monoliths to intricate wall installations, are influenced by Chaos Theory, a branch of mathematics and physics that studies the behaviour of dynamic systems. These sculptures are a visual representation of the hidden order within apparent randomness, inviting viewers to reconsider their perceptions of the world. The dark, deep surfaces of my resin monoliths and the radiant gold leaf in my wall installations are carefully chosen to evoke a sense of the abstract and the mysterious.
The duality of chaos and order is a key theme in my sculptures. I believe that even in the most chaotic environments, there is a deeper structure and meaning waiting to be discovered. The intricate patterns and forms in my works suggest that complexity and chaos are not synonymous with disorder. Instead, they reveal a hidden elegance and a deeper truth about the world. By using materials such as resin and gold leaf, I create works that are both aesthetically stunning and intellectually profound.
The Aesthetic and Intellectual Convergence
The aesthetic elements of my paintings and sculptures are complementary. My colour field paintings are characterised by their simplicity and purity, while my sculptures are known for their intricate and organic forms. The dark, deep surfaces of my resin monoliths can be seen as a modern interpretation of my colour fields, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The use of gold leaf in my wall installations adds a layer of luxury and radiance, much like the vibrant colours in my paintings.
Intellectually, my work challenges the viewer to reconsider their perceptions of the world. My paintings, with their large, colour fields and vertical stripes, invite the viewer to consider the underlying structures that govern the universe. The artist’s use of colour and form is a visual representation of the abstract, a concept that is both emotional and intellectual. My sculptures, influenced by Chaos Theory, challenge the viewer to see the hidden order within apparent randomness. The intricate patterns and forms in my works suggest that even in the most chaotic environments, there is a deeper structure and meaning waiting to be discovered.
The Emotional and Intellectual Impact
The emotional impact of my works is profound. My paintings create a sense of awe and wonder, drawing the viewer into a space of contemplation and reflection. The vertical stripes in my paintings are not just lines but elements that create a sense of tension and balance, evoking a range of emotions from serenity to tension. My sculptures, with their fine, flowing curves and dark, deep surfaces, create a similar emotional response. The contrast between the sleek, minimalist design and the intricate, organic forms invites the viewer to explore the duality of chaos and order.
Intellectually, my work challenges the viewer to reconsider their perceptions of the world. My paintings and sculptures are designed to create a space where the viewer can experience the abstract and confront the deeper aspects of human existence. The artist’s intention is to guide the viewer into a deeper understanding of the world, one that is both emotional and intellectual.
The Philosophical Implications
The concept of abstract art is central to my art theory. I believe that abstract art can be found in the present moment, in the here and now, rather than in the grandiose and historical. My works are a modern interpretation of the abstract, where the vast, colour field paintings and intricate sculptures serve as metaphors for the infinite and the transcendent. I use my works to create a space where the viewer can experience the abstract and confront the deeper aspects of human existence.
