| Our Art is a conversation between several noble ‘persons’ and/or milieus. Our ‘speaking brush’ talks to the paper -or surface- it is painted on, as well as to you my noble audience, and of course, to myself as the ‘doer’ of the Work, i.e its mouthpiece or orator, so said. As such, the image depicted here, the double-tulip* is spreading its fragrance all ‘’round’ as does a rose or a lotus. And what allows the tulip to speak , if not just its shape or its beauty but indeed the space in which it is seen and heard? Is that not indeed the Room or atelier of collectively the art-object, the artist and its audience? Indeed, we speak of a chashitu, its aesthetic and congenial domain of relaxed conversations and viewing. The setting than, for the tulip perse is its ‘empty space,’ so to say. Indeed, is that not a black or black canvas as per the home of the imagery so said? As such, we ‘hear’ the ‘talks’ from its own sacred domain and indeed its enduing perspective. And what does the tulips say? It speaks of the beauty the eye wishes to behold and references the fleetingness of the bloom and indeed it ‘marks’ what cannot be told. As such, being from the Netherlands myself the tulip is virtually a Dutch symbol, unequaled as such. As it was ‘imported ‘ from Turkey during the Middle-ages, and represented wealth and beauty in the homes and palaces of the Sultans, the ‘imports’ by the Dutch suggested a similar mood which was greatly enhanced by the addition of the tulip as a sense of -imported!!-luxury in Golden Age renaissance Holland. And for us, the artist? Do we not appreciate its simple design, its emergence from a buried bulb, its rising up on an elegant stem towards the light? Such is Art: seeing truth and beauty i.e. the Light, in even the simplest forms in nature. As such ‘Talking Tulip’ whether potted in a vase- or standing as a couple face-to face , sending a wave via the heart! Om Tat Sat: may be enlivened by THAT! * from the Turkish duiband or turban, referencing the blooming or opening up of the petalled blossom 16"x20"x3/4" on Black Stretched Canvas, Acrylic Paint, Created On February 1st, 2025 |
