Artist Statement for Tracy Levesque

The act of painting is not what it was once thought to be.

Time has forever changed the present and the future of painting. This fact must be acknowledged by both the artist and the viewer alike. A painting in itself is no longer a transcendental work of heightened reality, it is neither an idol nor an ideal, it is merely an attempt to reveal existence as a reason for existing. It is a material justification for existence attempting to reveal the transitory nature of human life as an absolute. Painting can also be described as a constructive act where a valid movement towards freedom is attempted as proof of existence. Nature is transient, human life is mortal, even the universe is finite, thus art too must perpetuate this never-to-be finished revelation.

The anatomy of a painting is an explanation of its nature. Colour and texture ignite the senses, subject matter exploits emotional content, the outline is a blueprint in which the frozen moment resides and the two dimensional surface on which it is created is a limitation which must be reconciled by the creation itself. A painting is a moment of truth; a single moment of existence that is created from a lifetime of existing. Its meaning is subjective and different for every individual that encounters it. This is why there is a triangular overlap of existences when a viewer beholds a painting and why it can be experienced over and over again in so many different ways. The artist’s perception, the veiwer’s perception and the contemporary world at large collide. This moment of truth is frozen for a single moment in the infinity of time, like humankind, for as long as it exists. Thus, in a sense, a painting is a material representation of mortality and is only meaningful to humankind because it, like the life of those it is created for, is transitory.
