Artist Statement:
About the paintings of Simon
Blackwood
The property of beauty is to
shine.
Its' light extends infinitely
both inwardly and outwardly.
It is both overwhelming and
inspiring and whatever it
illuminates is consumed as it
is also created by it.
In short, beauty is not
partial.
I have chosen to follow a
spiritual orientation toward
all things I do.
The road and the destination
in this journey is the love of
beauty.
(A statement inspired by the
writings of Muhyiddin Ibn
Arabi and Jelaleddin Rumi.)
Painting is a metamorphosis
from base elements into an
image of another reality
beyond those original
elements. It can allude to
sublime ideals through subject
matter or by the means of the
juxtaposition of colour, shape
and form. At best it reveals
the highest aspirations of man
striving to praise the gift of
intelligence, love of beauty
and life itself.
Paintings can recall or remind
us by illusory means; they may
also point towards something
beyond the material object of
the ‘tableau’ hanging on a
wall.
The paintings represented here
also attempt, without
abstraction, to point beyond
the subject matter, alluding
to the hidden, in the world of
man, that gives rise to his
creativity. ...
