Description
date (2012), signature, and title on back, on archival medium weight watercolor paper. I did this piece as a protest against the takeover of the art world by so-called "conceptual art". The lettering was added in 2012 to a previous painting I did in 2004 entitled "Branches Over Palm Lines". Around 2012 I became increasingly perturbed by the domination of the art world by conceptual art, which I consider to be more philosophy or theater than art. I take this quote from Eckhart Tolle as inspiration: "The aliveness and divine essence in every life form is being obscured by thought and conceptualization". I hope viewers will see the contrast between the stark black letters and the organic, natural background. I chose to contrast the black, hard lettering (representing unfeeling concepts)with the softness of the watercolor paints.
There is also a note of irony in the fact that the piece itself is conceptual, showing how it is difficult to avoid conceptualization completely.
