Morpheus No. 72 Painting

An idea that is free, independent, abstract, universal, and absolute is called pure. Such thoughts have no limitations and exist independently of space and time. Ideas have nothing comparable to a tangibled existence in reality. There is no object of knowledge behind an idea. The word idea simply denotes a mental conception that exists completely detached from concrete reality. Everyone can have different ideas about anything because we are born thinkers. We cannot think unless we first imagine. "The ideas in the platonic sense are not brilliant figures, tied up like concepts, but rather a little shaky waste on a vague ground. Gabriel Gauvain. Gabriel Gauvain presents the material not as that which serves, but as something independent, abstract and universal, the absolute matter manifested in its glory. Even if meaning emerges from the canvas: the pen and the paint remain “things” of nothing that cannot be resolved by any subsequent meaning. Making the matter appear as fact, paper or canvas are direct components from which the works are created in a sculptor's manner. These are the gestures with which Gabriel Gauvain spells matter, they are works in which matter unfolds into shape, a statement in fact. Gabriel Gauvain scribbles the canvas with a tangle of lines and stains, he stretches it as if to intervene with his fingers, until the matter reveals its essence and gives us the certainty of its name: this is pen... in the relaxed guidance of gestures lies something different, maybe an alternative or even the higher truth of things. Gabriel Gauvain' s art is also an art of writing and signs, it draws on the pool of calligraphy, in which concepts in their universal idea seem to dissolve in the fleetingness of grasping and letting go. Why mythology is central to Gabriel Gauvain and what role it plays in the creative process, the mirror image as the totality of human thought, it is the 'imagination', the idea as an experience in the current moment, the human being at the center and the breath of this setting and the main character in the battle between the worlds. Morpheus is depicted with two faces - both asleep and awake, representing either the Dreamtime or real life. Thinking refers to ideas or beliefs that are expressed through language to convey some type of meaning or purpose. Aristotle believed that humans are capable of reasoning, learning, and knowing things, so thinking was his concept of knowledge.
