'The Silk Road
Situation'. Acrylic on Silk.
This is a series of
23 paintings 7 large, 6 medium and 10 small works. All are painted
with acrylic on silk. They will be exhibited in Mai's
Gallery HoChiMinh City during June 2004.
The primary reference in this series of paintings is conflict
and conflict resolution. I have developed my imagery from a primarily
local perspective which I have refracted through a universal prism.
I feel that in these works my symbolism, imagery and language
can now be 'read' internationally and as the compositions are
primarily aesthetic I can leave it to the viewer to draw their
own conclusions as to the meaning of my art and as to whether
it is successful or not. I am very interested to hear how these paintings are 'read' in
Vietnam as I am conscious of how different our societies are.
I welcome all interpretations and am particularly interested
to hear how the Vietnamese people respond to these actual paintings
which have never been exhibited together before and which includes
one large painting entitled 'Endless'
painted especially for this exhibition.
