The Ode to Vermeer & Carrington

The ‘Ode to Vermeer’ & ‘Carrington’ artworks constitute an act of approximation of
a descriptive representation – energy subjected by the need to represent that which we see.

“Realism” with an abstract sense of what is ‘beautiful’. This is representation distanced from any intention of ‘biography’. Portraits are simultaneously both surface and symbols. As Oscar Wide points out in the Portrait of Dorian Gray : “Whoever penetrates under the surface will have to do so at his own peril”.

Whoever interprets the symbolic should be held responsible for that interpretation.
In reality, they reflect death, not life.
