JACOB'S LADDER Size: 30.3 in x 22.4 in The cycle of 10 watercolours on handmade paper Created: 2019 The cycle of ten watercolours was presented to the audience at the DDA Gallery, Pratt Institute Brooklyn, NY 11215. A printed document was also issued on this occasion. The expert text was contributed by dr. Marjeta Ciglenečki. »Jacob’s ladder has always been understood as a bridge between the earthly life, where our experience resides, and the other life, which remains completely secret except for a few chosen ones who can perceive a certain reflection from the beyond, but this can only happen in certain states, for example, in one’s sleep. In the past, it was significant that the depictions of Jacob’s ladder clearly defined the earth and the sky. However, the modern man also identifies with the undefined top of the ladder, which may get completely lost in dizzy heights. The mysterious power of Jacob’s ladder lies in the message of the biblical metaphor; yet, should we follow the Slovenian philosopher Marko Uršič’s interpretation, art also possesses a cognitive tendency characteristic of scriptures. Oto Rimele marked the bottom centre of the large watercolours with the title (JACOB’S LADDER), the number in the series, the signature and year. All the pencil-made inscriptions are in line with the ladder’s compositional structure. It seems as if the written words also shape themselves into rungs, thus persuading us to think that the artist perceives his mission as a gruelling ascent towards the unknown and the unspeakable, towards the beyond.« Marjeta Ciglenečki The cycle The Jacob’s ladder (ten watercolors) is for sale as a whole.

Oto Rimele is a painter, visual artist and author of visual spatial settings. He expresses himself with pure form and colour. Currently, he is Full Professor for drawing and painting at the University of Maribor, Slovenia. In 2004 he received the Prešeren Fund Award, the highest recognition for achievements in the field of art in the Republic of Slovenia. As regards construction, his images are created is such a way as to enable radiation of colour light. The images are accurately placed into the space of the exposition area and achieve the creation of non-material colour communication: his images-objects enable the light of the space to pass into the light of the image, the silence and the inner sound of the image. Rimele strives to achieve such a state of the visual image that will establish, in the interaction with the spectator and the space, the state of wholeness: the artistic image is here in order for the spectator to be able to become aware of himself again and enter the dimension of his non-materiality. His work could be described as “sacral minimalism” and corresponds, as regards the content, to the European spiritual tradition and contemporary authors such as Anish Kapoor, James Turell, Bill Viola, Arvo Pärt. Additional information on the author and his work in English can be found at the website www.otorimele.com.
