I first posted my paintings on ARTSLANT using it as an exercise in going public. No matter what others say, going public is daunting to those who are addicted to being shy, self conscious and, lacking talent.
This website is intended to be a gateway to my release from restricted thoughts and, in part, to alleviate some of the more debillitating aspects of my Bipolar (Manic depression) illness.
The intention is to post my new completed paintings along with a blurb about the process the thoughts etc.
Now I have added a poem which was written for each of the paintings...it just takes me time to get my bum in gear and get the words put next to the paintings.
CosmicArt That connects me to Nature
Nature is all things including the universe the microverse ..all, everything including thoughts.
Perhaps I have miss named my art. It maybe more a sort of art of the mind. The shapes that one sees in Nature seem to repeat themselves in differing scales in my thought patterns. I see shapes due to my mood changes , these shapes when put on paper remind me of something (it could be a cell in the human body it could be a galaxy) in Nature.
This may slightly be an oversimplification although I struggle to put my art into any such sub-titled dogmatic terminology ascribed to art by those who disparage my work.
Not that I in anyway despise what these experts of art ascribed to, but feel that sometimes the critics can be sidelined by the modulated voices of those around them. I am not party to how critics come to their descisions so I maybe slightly off the mark there.
What does appeal to me about my art is the difficulty in my mind to select a type or “pidgeon hole” for it. Cosmic, Intergalactic, mental permutations of dreams induced by trauma?? Hard to say.
When I have finished a painting it becomes the past, no longer living as it had been whilst under construction. Yet others see my art as living, having life continually moving and changing.
