Kismet Arts Tangent

This is one of my all time favorites. It is fused with symbolic meaning. Paul Gauguin valued drawing upon memory and imagination and pure color. Magritte used text to emphasize the flexibility of language and arbitrary assignment to objects. I’ve been swirling some motifs around in my head and here they come together so beautifully. I wrote on a receipt paper at work about some paintings I should get on. The Anniversary bouquet painting for Dan, the Garamond motif from Mac (His bathroom wall has a piece of square paper on it with Garamond written four times, seemed so beautiful and random, keeps typeface reminders) the torso vase of course residual from the Nicole Series, and my new friend (hopefully more) Carolyn, though I don’t know much about her, she’s trying to quit smoking. Smoking has a recurring theme in my life because a lot of people I care about smoke, and its tragic but alluring for some reason. The bananas are Mac’s symbol as well. They are sexy.
