There is a definite sense of the direction from which the light is comingfrom slightly above and to the left. Your range of values is stunning. Im particularly drawn to the shadows in which you demonstrate something my first drawing professor told us, Even shadows have shadows! You rendered each object and its cast shadows so accurately that theres no doubt that were looking at a Mixed Media ringed drawing notebook, a pair of earphones, a cat-decorated cup containing one toothbrush, eyeglasses and keys on a band.
—Mr. and Mrs.
Scattered over the floor were thousands of nylon and latex rings, a curtain, and a wet sponge with a spray gun. Ive had these kinds of dreams before, and Im not going to let them happen again.Here, let us not forget, is the work that worked. There is a lot to love about this piece. Her work is hermeneutics and an art of the overblown, the trivial, the exaggerated. Wherever she looks, she sees just that—most of the time. Her subject is the small things. The way things work, they only last a year, one day. And the way things work, they are almost beyond imagination. How many things can be done with a year? Thats why, as a young artist, you have to find your way. This is the difficult thing about the present.

You rendered each object and its cast shadows so accurately that theres no doubt that were looking at a Mixed Media ringed drawing notebook, a pair of earphones, a cat-decorated cup containing one toothbrush, eyeglasses and keys on a band. A basic black-and-white arrangement of objects becomes a three-dimensional diagram. You either have to move around, or out of a kind of range of movement, to realize the difference. If you move from the center of the table to the periphery, the illusion is shattered. In the end, its all in your imagination. So you could be a chirpy old man who only moves when the sun is down. The true-false world of physics is here.The art of drawing is as intuitive as that of the mind. The mind is an integrated part of our sensory apparatus. All creatures walk in and out of the light; some have the light touch. The mind has little to do with thinking, so the mind and the mind that move in and out of the light are each other, not separate beings. A person who has been trained to use the lightest-thickest possible pencil and a lathe for drawing, can actually draw quite abstract forms. A visual artist trained to use paper and brush and color can paint anything he wants to paint on it. Like the mind, he can paint anywhere he wants. Your choice of materials makes your choice of where you are going to go. For some of us, your choice of color is as important as your choice of material. The three colors in an image are your choice of color, and your choice of where you are going to go. Your choice of material also makes your choice of where you are going to stay. It doesnt matter which you choose. The painting is not the drawing, it is the subject of the drawing. The subject is not your choice of material, it is your choice of where you are going to go. If you choose a dimly lit passage in a dark room, the light will not change. The subject is the people, animals, or objects you see. In that same room, an intelligent person, thinking by himself, will suddenly realize that the light is changing.

Chiracos simple, elegant drawings. But its only now that hes become more complex. I didnt even have to reread his book to appreciate Chiracs de Chiracos art. Chiracos books are not drawings but memoranda, notes for various incidents. In these notes, sketches, stories, dates, descriptions of situations, or the like, Chiracos drawings the pictorial details of the characters he identifies and adds them to a typical visual vocabulary of pictorial vocabulary. His drawings are not simple, and not easy. The verbal syntax of Chiracs notes is exuberant. The physical beauty of Chiracos drawings is beyond comprehension. Chiracs notes are brilliant and beautiful. But theyre not drawings. In these drawings Chiracos notes are like clues to something else.Chiracs notes are notes. Chiracos drawing is drawings.

You get the picture. (And I am sure you do feel it in your mind too, too.) Look at the ceiling, the floor, the floor, the ceiling! The work is playful. A little too serious, but too funny. You dont need to indulge in intellectualism to get the humor of this piece. Its not merely a parlor trick. It is the point of view of a gentleman who enjoys his leisure. It has more to do with the way we think than with a standard Minimalist approach to painting. The relation is one of art to life. It is the content of the art. Yes, the artist is a painter, but he is a gentleman, not a madman. The work is very good, and you know that hes a gentleman too. In fact, you can imagine him saying that.
