I’m fascinated by painters associated with the Jerusalem Studio School who are taking perceptual painting in a lush, sensuous direction, with a luxuriant sense of color. I’m loving what they do with limited but rich palettes. Salamon’s work takes that esthetic to an extreme simplicity. The post Mika Salamon appeared first on represent.

Before I get to my impressions of the juried show currently on view at Viridian Artists, allow me a digression about the location depicted above in one of the exhibition’s paintings. On a visit to Fiji, my son reported back to me that he found there the poorest and happiest people he’d ever met. I […] The post Viridian’s juried show appeared first on represent.

The only work of art criticism I return to with relish and as a way of relearning what I already think I understand is In Search of Lost Time. Marcel Proust’s insights into how music, painting and fiction all are grounded in perception, rather than discursive thought, distinguish him from most people who have written […] The post No ideas but in perceptions appeared first on represent.

It was enjoyable to return to the candy jars, and it’s been long enough that I felt the contrast in doing one of these, a distinctly different flow from the process for painting salt water taffy. The taffy presents a complex topography, a lot of wrinkles, crimps, […] The post New candy jar appeared first on represent. Continue reading New candy jar By dave dorsey, 976 contributed posts

This is an unusually lyrical photograph for Dushka Vujovik, whose typical subjects are abstract geometric color compositions created by simply cropping what she sees in her urban environment in Toronto, just a few miles north of us down here on the bottom of Lake Ontario. When she wants to be, as a photographic coloriest, she […] The post Dushka Vujovic appeared first on represent. Continue reading Dushka Vujovic By dave dorsey, 976 contributed posts

I came across this opening to one of Philip Larkin’s essays at random when I spotted the collection on a shelf. He’s admiring John Betjeman for the limpid quality of his poems, their immediacy and accessibility, like the polymath conversational style of early W.H.

From the Old Jordanville Prayer Book: Rejoice, height inaccessible to human thought. Rejoice, dawn of the mystic day. Rejoice, rock that refreshes those thirsting for life. Rejoice, door of solemn mystery. Rejoice, thou who shows philosophers to be fools. Rejoice, thou who exposes the learned as irrational. Rejoice, ray of the noetic Sun.
