The Sculptor is strong, brave, determined and focused, he chisels and carves away to uncover deeper layers of himself. He is surrounded by sculptures in his studio resembling some of the subjects in the paintings of this exhibition. He is my co-creator.
In this painting you can see some of the tools of his trade. They indicate precise, measured and decisive action. He brings structure and a framework to a meandering mind and senses that would otherwise lead me down too many paths.
The Sculptor in appearance ‘is’ marble, wood and metal and so has an skillful albeit innate ability to reveal the core truths that lie within. This reminds me of Michelaengelo’s famous quote “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free”.
The angel showing him the sketch is both an allegory of creative inspiration and self-actualization when you realize that the head, he holds actually bears a resemblance, it further suggests the creative act is a source of self discovery
