Marcus
Manilus precipitated off the Capitole |
130
x 195 cm. 1999, Oil on Canvas |
| This
variation on the fall of the angel stages with voluptuousness
all artifices of the most lyrical baroque: dramatic gestures,
soaring architectures, theatrical lighting with contradictory
sources, twilight skies, sinusoidal movements and constructions,
Venetian chromatics, anxiety and horror of the vacuum (all these
elements reflecting my mental state). I remember the definition
of the baroque according to Eugenio d' Ors, "The permanent
ocean of the anxious conscience". |
