I know nothing of these things, of course, but I heard some mention of it the other day, while discussing alternative abstract concepts of spatial expressionism within a new focus group, dedicated to diffusing the arguments surrounding the critical dialogue between the proponents of disjunctive perturbation and distinctive juxtaposition of form. I'm reminded of an 'Art Work' in a Dundee Contemporary Arts Gallery by Michaelangelo Antonioni I saw a few years ago. Ellipsis To mark moments of uncertainty, to remove chunks of narrative. (Basically, a blank canvas with just the hint that a brush may have added a layer of sealer on the canvas). The guide notes to the Art Work mentions... " Michaelangelo Antonioni use of the device leaves the audience and viewer to speculate on what happens in the gap, to create their own understanding or interpretation around a moment of ambiguity". Not sure Captain how far that is from your description above, but neither mean anything to me, I'm to old now to understand these things. There's a similar theme in a work by Ithell Colquhoun (1906-1988) in a Penzance Gallery. The guide notes tell us? "She's an artist drawn by Gaelic Melodic Superautomism* …… perhaps a figure from a spirit world, conjured from Aladdin’s lamp, condensed, materialised and 'ectoplasmic’, as if from a half conscious experience of the interdependence of the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms of the earth and their vitalization by the sun". At best the canvas was ethereal... *e.g. Close your eyes and let the pencil drift over the canvas, hopefully recording your dream experiences.

Klear is a floor tile sealant that has become popular for modelling purposes because it comes in big cheap bottles, as opposed to modelling varnish which tends to come in small expensive ones. John Same stuff though, just in smaller bottles. It was made because of demand from the military and aircraft modellers when the original Johnson Klear was discontinued about ten years ago.

Agreed. The plus point at Dundee was the Gallery had an informal sort of Cafe, lots of students - cheap coffee. The Gallery was empty - bar me and my wife, the Cafe was packed.

MrWolf Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 IMHO @Gedwardis an artist in the real sense, not some contrived master of self publicity with little skill to back it up. Unfortunately the art world is brimming with the latter, which is why it is a running joke to the majority. Of course, those types brush off the derision with lofty remarks about the masses not being able to "see" true art. Shades of The King's New Clothes. 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a cobbled/ hard standing to the front and side of the 'garage'. The vehicle entry to the yard will be between the barn to the left and small hut, parallel to the Pannier. Green area to the front of the barn......... I can see it now... 11 1 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
