A Note

Last week Guido Winkler sent me an entry for Artist's On Words. I was sending him an email saying basically, "It's great but sorry the project's over...". And then I stopped in the middle of typing and thought--What am I doing? My "ending" of the "project" seemed arbitrary and forced(from 10/6/08). If people were still sending me stuff, why not keep publishing it? What's the big deal? So, therefore, Artist's On Words will continue. It's good for everyone. And, check out Guido Winkler's posts below.

Guido Winkler: Transition

Transition was the title of a show that was held in Le Petit Port, at the end of 2006. The show marked the upcoming influence of the computer and digital print in my work.Transitions referred to the character of that exhibition which was in fact a work in progress itself. Very much like the continuing process of creating art. I made my work on the spot.Since 1998, I work with terms like wonder, knowledge and perception through common preoccupations about time and space. Transitions also refers to the bridges, gates, viaducts, staircases, windows, holes, etc. which have been used as starting point in my work. In Le Petit Port, through induction and deduction I created most of the work directly from the surroundings of the gallery. Transitions also refers to the transcendental moment of the making of an artwork. From reality to a new reality.

Ed Angell: Untitled Diptych

2008

Ed Angell's unabashed investigation of materiality can be seen on his website. Taking "great pleasure is using the most basic materials offered by the earth", he creates machined objects with a curiously humanistic touch. He's a resident of that beautiful and wet part of the country known as Western Washington.

Ed Angell On Repetition

For as long as I've enjoyed art, the work of Robert Ryman and Agnes Martin have captivated me. Ryman with the color white and Martin with her graphite line have taken Repetition to new levels. As an artist, I've often thought how deftly both these artists use a repetitious theme is their work, to great advantage. As many times as I've viewed both artists works, they never seem to get old or stale and I've always wondered why.

As my own work has matured over time, I find that I too am caught up in Repetition. While subtle, I've begun to notice how important adjacent elements in my work have become. Whether adjacent edges in a singular painting or the color cast that happens between the elements of my diptych's, I'm starting to realize that Repetition is the ultimate quest for the perfect answer.

I sincerely hope there is no perfect answer, I would hate to stop searching.
