The Painting and The Common Vein
Ashley Davidoff MD
Copyright The Common Vein 2014
On Art – The artist places brushstrokes and sometimes dots of different color and texture together in pursuit of creating something new, surprising , and whole – a new Oneness.Â
Units, bonds and driving forces in the context of space and time are part of art.
The painting is an example .
The artist attempts to create a wholeness out of the units and the art succeeds if the wholeness is depicted and sensed by the observer. Â The artist wants to tell a story and uses size shape position and color of individual brush strokes to do this. Â Davidoff Art Copyright 2014
The final piece becomes whole and stands alone but in the context of the art studio, Â home, or museum . Â There is occasion when an art piece makes you stand in awe at the miracle of the genius artist who has give the world a glimpe of wholeness.
