“Painting comes to reality through illusion. An illusion that allows us to make a leap of faith; to believe. To believe in a blue that can be the wing of a bug or a thought. It makes our invisible visible.” BelieveRealityPaintingIllusionBlueWingsInvisibleVisibleLeapBugsLeap Of Faith Book:Squeak Carnwath, recent paintings: September 8-October 8, 1994, John Berggruen Gallery Source: Squeak Carnwath, recent paintings: September 8-October 8, 1994, John Berggruen Gallery
“What really interests me about capturing and suspending movement is that I get to experience something invisible and inaudible, as elusive and fleeting as thought itself, and give it form... Maybe my paintings are all just little fragments of the Cosmic Dance suspended in time.” GivingLittlesFormInterestMovementPaintingInvisibleCosmicFleetingFragmentsElusiveSuspended Author:James Nares
“If you're going to be a visual artist, then there has to be something in the work that accounts for the possibility of the invisible, the opposite of the visual experience. That's why it's not like a table or a car or something. I think that that might even be hard for people because most of our visual experiences are of tables. It has no business being anything else but a table. But a painting or a sculpture really exists somewhere between itself, what it is, and what it is not-you know, the very thing. And how the artist engineers or manages that is the question.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsHardMightArtistCarPossibilityPaintingOppositesAccountsTablesInvisibleManageVisualsEngineersSculptureVisual ArtVisual Artist Author:Richard Tuttle
