"If our titles recall the known myths of antiquity, we have used them again because they are the eternal symbols upon which we must fall back to express basic psychological ideas."

I've done a few pieces that are based on artists whose work I've learned about. Its always interesting to me to discover their views of art. As of late, since this body of work is abstract, I've been looking at abstract artists which led me to Rothko. His perspectives are quite interesting. If you like abstract art, he's an interesting character.

I paint large pictures because I want to create a state of intimacy. A large picture is an immediate transaction; it takes you into it.

The Rothko Chapel
Houston, TX USA
Mark Rothko (1903 - 1970)
Comissioned by Dominique de Menil in 1964. Dedicated in 1971.
Inside a fortress-like sanctuary, the artist Mark Rothko boldly painted nothing but black to symbolize the limitless eternity of the Creator. The Rothko Chapel is a non-denominational sacred space providing a place for worship, meditation and prayer for people of all faiths and beliefs.
For my friend Rein who boldly uploaded a picture of nothing but black!

Het Gemeentemuseum presenteert – nog tot 1 maart 2015 - een tentoonstelling over de wereldberoemde kunstenaar Mark Rothko. Van blozend roze tot jubelend geel tot knallend blauw en somber zwart. Wanneer je voor de immense doeken van Mark Rothko staat voel je hoe je in zijn wereld wordt gezogen. De kleurvelden – opgebouwd uit zinderende verflagen – zijn van een ongekende intensiteit en verbeelden universele gevoelens als angst, extase, tragiek en euforie.
La chapelle Rothko est située à Houston (Texas) construite en 1964-1967 à proximité de la Menil Collection, le musée d'art moderne et contemporain exposant la collection personnelle du couple de collectionneurs franco-américains Jean et Dominique de Ménil. Cet espace de méditation de forme octogonale est orné de 14 toiles monochromes inédites et monumentales dans une teinte violet-bleu, spécifiques à cet endroit, agrémenté en son centre d’un très grand puits de lumière (cf. wikipédia, merci Elizabeth Felicella pour la photo).

For once, the sky was so clear in the morning, the whole thing reminds me of a Mark Rothko painting.
Taken this afternoon at the Rothko exhibition at Tate Modern, London. Processed with Camerabag app to get the b/w effect.
The painting the men are looking at is from Rothko's so called "black form" series; the paintings initially appear to be entirely black, but look at them for a bit longer and it's clear they're a more complex mix of shades and textures. Parts of the painting absorb lots of light, others are shiny and reflect it; parts are covered thickly with multiple layers, others more sparingly treated, while the size of the painting means that when close to it, it also fills your peripheral vision and this generates some really interesting opticial illusion type effects.
Update: I entered this into a competition to find an image that reflected George Orwell's novel 1984, and it won :)
