Randee Silv "Endangered Gestures"
M55 Art
This event has ended.
With this most recent group of painting, Silv brings our attention back to the very origins of painting while exposing the roots of our visual culture. These pieces are distinct in the way that they consider the process of image-making in a way that is both current and extraordinarily old.
In “The Mind in The Cave: Consciousness and the Origins of Art,” David Lewis-Williams compares the controversial abstract marks in Upper Paleolithic cave paintings with entoptic forms that have been documented during altered states of consciousness. These zig-zags, dots, meandering lines and nested curves are what we all see on the edge of our vision.
