20200614.1616 CLOUD gold Painting

Like my "Instant Sculptures" and "All Overs" the "CLOUD" series spatially contain and embody the time it took to bring them into being. The earlier/older parts of the stroke are spatially further back. This is different from working in my 3D-software where I can manipulate rotate or twist the sculpture to my liking for as long as I care to do so. . Here there is no changing or fidgeting around. They are how they are - but the dynamic gesture or painterly action or drive that brought these pieces to life can still be felt. They surely are inspired by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi's concept of the FLOW: wikipedia: >In his seminal work, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, Csíkszentmihályi outlines his theory that people are happiest when they are in a state of flow—a state of concentration or complete absorption with the activity at hand and the situation. It is a state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter.[14][page needed] The idea of flow is identical to the feeling of being in the zone or in the groove. The flow state is an optimal state of intrinsic motivation, where the person is fully immersed in what they are doing. < That is a pretty good summary of my state when working on these "All Overs". And it is my feeling that the paintings construct perculiar time-based spaces during this hour-long and nearly automatic process. This results in a painting that seems to change constantly. The curvy and organic geometry could well be shifting and moving while you are not looking..This is why this conceptual series of paintings is called “CLOUDS”.
