Nicholas sent me these images of his beautiful work the other day. I didn’t really know which to select to feature so I decided on a few. First up, we have the Hsien panels.
The act of decorating and describing shapes from the subconscious liberates what I now believe are sacred objects. That’s why I’ve called them Hsien objects, panels or shapes.
Any decent painting or sculpture ideally has an otherworldly quality to it, not so? The venerated object, whether it’s a sceptre, an orb, a fetish, relic, tattoo, sportscar, necklace, an ipod, garment or crown of state possesses, projects or wields power often beyond or greater than its physical appearance right? It’s job is to attract, summon, focus or magnify sensations. And it is singly able to transport or relocate your sense of location. In fact, a good Hsien object, shape or pattern to my mind, should relocate or even dislocate the viewer’s whereabouts by sight, touch or both.
And the wonderfully playful Afrobot paintings and ceramics series.
