Statement

What Lies Behind, What Lies Beyond

I use this visual metaphor again as I did 30 years ago. I shall use it (the glassblock wall) as a metaphor for the veil. The veil that blinds us. The veil that decieves us. The veil that conceals the truth. I will paint it all for you. I will paint for you beauty. And I will paint for you the horror. I will paint for you all I see though my walls of glass. And we shall see if anyone shall take note enough to see. To see what lies beyond...

Ars est Celare Artem (art that conceals art)

"Art is the lie that tells the truth." Pablo Picasso

"A work of Art is a small fragment from the eternal stream of the Creative Spirit which springs forth into existence through the persistence and focused thought of the Artist." "It's the lie that unveils the truth, makes it more clear, and gives truth it's substance." rjk
