'Untitled (From The New School) 10', Acrylics On Panel, 30 cm X 30 cm X 10.6 cm, 2018 |
Here's the recently-completed 'Untitled (From The New School) 10'. This is another one that's closer to what one might call 'traditional' painting - with plenty of free brushwork, only a modicum of masking and no collage elements.
It's also pretty close to the tradition of (almost) all-white paintings. That's a bit of a totem of Modern (or Post-Modern) painting, of course - and something with which my love of Robert Ryman, Gerhard Richter, Robert Rauschenberg, et al, has led me to dabble, periodically.
In this case, the intention was to create a suggestion of thick fog, through which the quasi-architectural motif common to all these 'FTNS' images, might be dimly glimpsed. As already mentioned, this has come to represent for me - the edifice of Education generally, as much as any specific edifice. Given that, I'll let the viewer decide whether, here - it continues to offer a beacon of enlightenment amidst growing obscurity, or if, alternatively - it's actually receding into a cloud of unknowing.
