In the paintings, the image as well as the space around are fragmented into small parts of various proportions and are placed them together again to bring about a completion / harmony of its own. Gathering fragments is used as a metaphor for negotiations and balancing that we do within, in our day today living. Yet the art is more about my own joy.
In a state of connectedness and affectation with the world I define myself. A sort of readiness for dissolution of the self to a realm of timelessness is what I seek.
Doing paintings is meditation and a prayer for me.
C.F.John
