Original artwork description
In every painting I work along one boundary: what I can control and what I cannot. In Shibui it runs through the branches. I choose the colours and place each leaf and bud with the palette knife, but the branches do not obey. I set the direction, and the branch decides where it lands. Seen from the front, the canvas is soft green on raw linen. Take one step to the side and violet rises from beneath the green, a glow begins to breathe, and the leaves shift like the wing of a beetle in the sun. Even this I have to let go: I will never know on which wall the painting will hang, in what light, or how much of the glow will be seen there. Close up you can almost smell the cool, dry linen. Shibui is the Japanese word for a quiet, understated depth that reveals itself slowly, and that is how this painting lives in a room: green in the morning, violet when the light comes in low. I don’t paint flowers or branches for their own sake. I paint my way of living: holding what can be held, and letting happen what cannot.
