About The Artwork
One of the most challenging aspects of creating a new surreal painting is finding an appropriate title and story that suggests an explanation of the work in broad terms but does not offer a definitive interpretation. This exercise is a difficult and often frustrating task but an important one. The title and story should convey an explanatory starting point which allows the painting’s meaning to grow and expand over time. The Moirai Destinies The concept of a universal principle of natural order and balance. _________________________________________________________________________________ In ancient Greek mythology, the Moirai (often known in English as the Fates) were the personifications of destiny. The role of the Moirai was to ensure that every being, mortal and divine, lived out their destiny as it was assigned to them by the laws of the universe. For mortals, this destiny spanned their entire lives and was represented as a thread spun from a spindle (wiki) or as depicted in this painting, a series of trailing clouds. The Moirai were considered the enforcers of fate and the singularity they inhabit in the pantheon in this painting is a point in time and space at which circumstances result in unforeseeable, infinite changes.

Surrealist Painter Exact prices available upon request - contact the artist: r.vanderhorst@sympatico.ca The paintings of Robert Vanderhorst envision a world where psychological, social and material processes are intimately entwined. While figurative, his work typically rejects static pictorial spaces and linear narratives. Instead, a cumulative, serial or recombinant approach is evident in much of his work. The resulting imagery is alternately familiar and estranged, direct and mediated, traditional and unconventional. At play are subjects that are suspended in an imaginary environment that creates an implicit tension in the painting. Vanderhorst's environments are both transformative and in the process of transformation "” perpetually perched on the edge of becoming something else.
