About The Artwork

utube video on the making of: https://youtu.be/nmqMehq2VRE (first development) Started from an idea of 'colour by number', which everyone has done in their childhood years, I started to cover the shapes individually with several shades of grays. I did not know how it was going to turn out, but was following on what I accomplished in 'Celestial Moon'. From the very first moments when the lines were laid down, I spotted two heads in the upper left corner. I knew there and then, the name of the piece - The Kiss. I did a sculpture version of the Kiss back in 1986. The concept arrived as I was clinching my hand together at the dinner table one evening. Two thumbs could be heads kissing! Unfortunately, over the years of moving around, this piece only survived as a photo. The painting process got out of hand and the shapes were too solid! It blocked the flow of the lines. Flow is an essential part of my works. I had to remove or cover most shapes, yet I loved every one of them. It was a battle for a few months -to be or not to be. Not exactly procrastinating, but more so of an inner battle of considering which to sacrifice and what the best way to show the history of the marks at the same time. Nowadays, a kiss could happen between any two beings. It so seems every show has to have a pair of gays since Gray's Anatomy! I am thinking it is also a subconscious reflection of the news I am hearing about these days on gender neutral language. Everything is becoming a blur. Then, one day, I realized that this was just a mediocre work, so I tried to find a different figure from the already set in stone composition. As the canvas turned into a vertical format, the face gradually appeared and everything worked accordingly. I blended a few types of gold leaf to create a unique light catching texture for the background. It was shown at the Art Vancouver Fair, actually this work would not be available until mid June 2023....still in transit back to me from Vancouver.

Don't fall for Kitsch if you wish to get your money's worth. Listen to Roger Scruton's lecture to earn background knowledge. Sir Roger Scruton - ART TODAY on utube. The findings of my paintings/drawings has gone beyond the discovery stage. The work is substantiated with an authentic concept. This Saatchi page contains the most diverse collections from painting on canvases to sculpture, from life size graphite drawings to l’automatisme Nouvelle drawings as of late. The works are compromised of a rare mastery. Kire has demonstrated a lifetime of exploration in the use of lines, ones that are expressive, experimental and calligraphic. Examining the years, this is a world of his own, Kire’s belief in score music over Klee/Miro’s musical presentations. He brings us a step closer to the musical world in the lines of melody that flow and tie elements tightly into compositions. The intention of where the notation drops should be precise if one is a good composer, therefore the artist should follow suit. Kire believes that grace overpowers trends and fashion. It is this which transcends the images for generations to appreciate. Whichever era we are in, we are that same human possessing the same emotional needs, requiring that same art quality to fill that appetite. ___________________________ THE VISION. Grace does not come overnight and it is the years behind that makes an Art precious. 8 virtual Exhibitions: https://lnkd.in/ggHU4aP    Automatic characters 2.0 https://lnkd.in/gJtzc4J  Automatism between words and lines https://lnkd.in/gNqks86 animated Automatic paintings https://lnkd.in/g9Hcjku Automatic Revelations https://lnkd.in/g4qsxZQ 25 Automatic Extractions https://lnkd.in/gMx8Hgv Automatic Foundation https://lnkd.in/gKTR3Ew Mastering improvisation https://lnkd.in/gdZY4WU Chance Photography
