“The painting is not on the surface, but on a plane which is imagined” Philip Guston.
Think of the mind hovering within a matrix under the influence of myriad stimuli. When the Imagination stills for an instant, a moment of sensation, operating outside verbal language, spurs the genesis of a particular canvas. Responding to this moment of sensation, this Imagining, the act of painting, one mark dictating the next, delivers the final image. |
