The painting of language
Our time is experiencing the concurrent phenomena of, the convergence of
cultures, the transformation of language, and the emergence of global
electronic media. The expression of these phenomena in the new millennium is full of potential. What will the new relationships between people create in art, science, or industry? What new culture will be born and what will be the instruments of its language?
Even in ancient times the power of a sign or seal to communicate the status of an individual or a canon of a culture was employed. Since the work of C.K. Bliss, universal icon design has been applied for airport signage and road information in public spaces. The fact of universal visual language is the basis for the modern use of logos, graffiti, road signage and advertising to communicate information. Around the globe urban cultures have established the use of signage likewise. Now also the global electronic net uses universal icon design principles to communicate across language barriers.
The paintings in this project are intended to utilize the ability of an image for intuitive communication, to enlighten or inform the viewer about abstract ideas. The paintings are experiments with the relationship of symbols.
Combining symbols in new relationships creates unique images, and conveys
new meanings. The complex image of many symbols arranged in various
relationships strives to communicate the nature, purpose, and passion of
universal relationships.
