7. Ritual Vessel with Instructions
Ritual Vessel with Instructions
Description
An abstract acylic painting utilizing various brush strokes in multiple colors, mostly warm toned colors, with cool colors near the bottom of the piece. The only defined object seems to be a blue teacup with a handle on top of a black abstract object., Barbara Black; acrylic on canvas; 30x30 inches; ritual vessel with instructions, I am drawn to painting to try to make discoveries about the reconcilliation of opposities on a variety of levels: representation and abstraction; light and dark; matter and spirit, etc. At present elements such as vessels, cloth, water, islands interest me for their metaphorical possibilities when placed in a context of a more abstract expressionist emphasis of surface, color and gesture. My works frequently contain a rather precisely painted image (still life or landscape) placed in surroundings that become more abstract, as if the images had coalesced out of the matrix of color and brushwork. This juxtaposition calls attention to the way in which the brushstrokes, so full of their own identity and movement in the more abstract passages, can cohere and combine to call up an image or specific presensce, creating a precarious balance between these two functions of the paint.
