Original artwork description:
The Chain of Being series was inspired by my reading David Esterley's book 'The Lost Carving'. As a scholar of Plato he is a fascinating read, a conscious artist, striving for mastery... This book led me to read Plato and Plotinus' 'Truth, Beauty and Goodness'. The Platonic reverie left me with a sense of longing for that grace of perception and clarity of which these masters wrote so eloquently. Hence the blues of 'Chain of Being', which for me always give rise to a feeling of longing, and, with the downward, directional pull of the squeegee and brush, the sense of airy, dewy space. I hope you will get a sense of space and airiness and feel able to enter into the painting. I chose the medium, composition and minimalist style to strengthen the sense of movement and depth.
This is an acrylic painting on alu di-bond, framed in white.
