POST SCRIPTUM

 

 

Before taking a plunge into the universe of my - bio » « centric - space paintings I would

 

like to present you some of my favorite statements.

 

 

 

In painting you often have to destroy something you like in order to get something better.

 

bie baldwin el bio  -  (1950 - . . . . )

 

 

 

When I examine myself and my method of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant

 

more to me than my talent for absorbing knowledge.

 

Albert Einstein  -  (1879 - 1955)

 

 

 

Talking about myself I proceed, according to the rules of the art, in such a way that nobody ever treated a

 

subject that he knew and understood better than I did mine, and that I, in this matter, am the greatest scholar.

 

Michel, seigneur de Montaigne  -  (1533 - 1592)

 

 

 

Art is an adventure into the unknown world, a world which can only be explored by those willing to take the risks.

 

Mark Rothko  -  (1903 - 1970)

 

 

 

There are painters who transform a yellow spot into the sun.

 

Pablo Picasso  -  (1881 - 1973)

 

 

 

Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist.

 

René Magritte  -  (1898 - 1967)

 

 

 

There are more valid facts and details in works of art than there are in history books.

 

Charles Spencer Chaplin  -  (1889 - 1977)

 

 

 

Art teaches nothing except the signification of life.

 

Henry Miller  - (1891 - 1980)

 

 

 

The urge toward simplification and order keeps us going and inspires us in the midst of chaos. Chaos is the

 

beginning, simplicity the end.

 

Maurits Escher  -  (1898 - 1972)

 

 

 

 

Vita brevis, Ars longa  -  (Life is short, Art endures).

 

Hippocrates  -  (460 - 400 BC)

 

 

 

Accidents . . . , try to change them . . . , it’s impossible. The accident reveals man !

 

Pablo Picasso  -  (1881 - 1973)

 

 

 

In a single brushstroke we can say more than a writer in a whole volume.

 

Edgar Degas  -  (1880 - 1917)

 

 

 

Good art is not what it looks like, but what it does to us.

 

Roy Adzak  -  (1927 - 1987)

 

 

 

Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.

 

Auguste Rodin  -  (1840 - 1917)

 

 

 

I who have been involved with all styles of painting can assure you that the only thing that fluctuates are the

 

waves of fashion which carry the snobs and speculators. The number of true connoisseurs remains more or

 

less the same.

 

Pablo Picasso  -  (1881 - 1973)

 

 

 

Window dressers and fashion makers can fool snobs and speculators floating on the waves of fashion (see

 

above quote by P. Picasso) by simply divorcing an item from its natural and predictable context, by putting

 

together two incompatible effigies, by blowing up an everyday object to extreme proportions or by twaddling,

 

blowing lots of hot air and spouting the most incomprehensible bla bla in order to disguise their lack of

 

authenticity. The true connoisseur, however, (again: see above quote by P. Picasso), will always distinguish a

 

genuine and renewing artistic creation from the umpteenth imitation of the ‘ready made concept’ created by

 

the (for the year 1913!) innovating artist Marcel Duchamp, from the bringing together of contradictory objects

 

and effigies the way artists like Salvador Dali and René Magritte did ages ago and, last but not least, by

 

simply transforming icons of art history into transparent, ego centric and self-glorifying ‘works of art’. The

 

true art lover, never the less, will, as far as he can be misled, sooner or later unmask all these ‘works of art’.

 

‘Works of art’ that will, notwithstanding their temporary success, vanish into the impenetrable fog of mediocrity.

 

The confrontation with this true art lover, the genuine connoisseur, he who goes for the ultimate authenticity, is

 

to be considered as my one and only ‘raison d’être’.

 

bie baldwin el bio  -  (1950 - . . . . )

 

 

 

The most universal quality is diversity.

 

Michel, seigneur de Montaigne  -  (1533 - 1592)

 

 

 

Painting a picture is not a form of self-expression. It is, like any other art, a language by which you

 

communicate something about the world.

 

Mark Rothko  -  (1903 - 1970)

 

 

 

Art is the expression of the profoundest thoughts in the simplest way.

 

Albert Einstein  -  (1879 - 1955)

 

 

 

I live in a very small house but my windows look out on a very large world.

 

Confusius  -  (550 - 478 BC)

 

 

 

I shut my eyes in order to see.

 

Paul Gauguin  -  (1848 - 1903)

 

 

 

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.

 

Francis Bacon  -  (1909 - 1998)

 

 

 

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true science.

 

Albert Einstein  -  (1879 - 1955)

 

 

 

Art does not reproduce the visible, it mákes visible.

 

Paul Klee  -  (1879 - 1940)

 

 

 

Painting is very easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do.

 

Edgar Degas  -  (1880 - 1917)

 

 

 

I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.

 

Pablo Picasso  -  (1881 - 1973)

 

 

 

Art does not reproduce, it simply is.

 

bie baldwin el bio  -  (1950 - . . . . )

 

 

 

A hidden connection is stronger than an obvious one.

 

Heraclitus  -  (535 - 475 BC)

 

 

 

A picture is nothing but a bridge between the soul of the artist and that of the onlooker.

 

Edgar Degas  -  (1880 - 1917)

 

 

 

Dear Mr Picasso,

 

I can assure you that I, as an artist, won’t ever use my computer to give answers. I, on the contrary, will use it to

 

call everything into question.

 

Yours, sincerely,

 

bie baldwin el bio

 

(A reaction on Pablo Picasso’s statement: ‘What good are computers? They can only give answers’.).

 

bie baldwin el bio  -  (1950 - . . . . )

 

 

 

The laws of nature are so simple, we have to rise above the complexity of scientific thought to see them.

 

Richard Feynman  -  ( 1918 - 1988 / Nobel Prize of Physics 1965 )

 

 

 

The calling into question of everything forms the basis of wisdom . . . although . . . ?!

 

bie baldwin el bio  -  (1950 - . . . . )

 

 

 

Those who see any difference between body and soul have neither one, nor the other.

 

Oscar Wilde  -  (1854 - 1900)

 

 

 

I don’t search, I find !

E = mc² !

 

Albert Einstein  -  (1879 - 1955)

 

 

 

E = mc² ?

 

bie baldwin el bio  -  (1950 - . . . . )

 

 

 

I write you a long letter because I don't have time enough to write you a short one.

 

Mark Twain  -  (1835 - 1910)

 

 

 

To begin to fall into habit is to begin to cease to be.

 

Miguel de Unanumo  -  (1864 - 1936)

 

 

 

Every genuine  work of art is a statement but - what ever some ‘art popes’ (what’s in a name?!) may pretend -

 

not every statement is a work of art !

 

bie baldwin el bio  -  (1950 - . . . . )

 

 

 

And if the Pope is dead . . . well . . . , in that case we simply elect another one.

 

Angelo Guiseppe Roncali - GIOVANNI XXIII - 260st Pope  -  (1881 - 1963)

 

 

 

ABOUT CONFLICTS

 

 

INTRODUCTION TO ‘THE - bio » « centric - SPACE PAINTING’ BY

 

bie baldwin el bio

 

 

IMPORTANT ! It is of paramount importance to read this introduction before starting your journey through my - bio » « centric - universe, bie baldwin el bio

 

 

First of all I wish you a warm welcome into my - bio » « centric - universe. A universe that, like everything else in life, is based on conflicts. Conflicts, however, which, although they sometimes lead to very dramatic events, are not the essence of our problems. The essence of our problems, on the contrary, consists in the way we deal with our conflicts.

Whether a conflict occurs between two peoples, two cultures, two nations, within a relationship or in the depths of our inner self is, in itself, not important. Each conflict, even the least one, will after all, as far as we do not deal with it in an appropriate way, lead to painful and sometimes devastating dramas. Conflicts, however, do not only lay on the basis of dramas, they also lay on the basis of everything we experience as positive in this existence, they form the germ of every negative ánd positive interpersonal relationship.

And so these ubiquitous conflicts and all their consequences, became the raison d’ être of my - bio » « centric - space paintings.

Since my early youth I have not only been confronted with personal conflicts and the sometimes painful way in which they were resolved, but I also, just like everyone, witnessed how, during the past decades, people, time and again, clung in an implacable and resentful way to their own stubborn point of view. A behavior that led to a world full of problems.

It was out of the impact of these (sometimes traumatic) experiences ánd my fascination for this phenomenon that my - bio » « centric - space paintings came into being.

From the very beginning (my ‘EVOLUTION NUMBER ONE’ - ‘THE UNBENDING and my ‘EVOLUTION NUMBER TWO’ - ‘THE MERGING’) I often drew my inspiration from the well - known mythological stories. Stories describing the universal human drama resulting from the wrong treatment of the interpersonal and inner conflicts in such an exceptional and effective way.

Since my ‘EVOLUTION NUMBER FOUR' - ‘THE TRANSCENDING’, however, I focus on space paintings inspired by works of art of the great artists whom I consider as my artistic mentors. Each - bio » « centric - space paintings is the result of a purposive and resolute (material, spiritual and artistic) confrontation with some of their most outstanding and universal masterpieces. A confrontation during which I try to unveil ánd unravel the conflicts they treat in their creations as well as the interpersonal and/or inner conflicts those brilliant artists had to deal with.

Whether it’s about the inner conflicts of the prostitutes of the rue d'Avignon from ‘LES DEMOISELLES D'AVIGNON’ by Pablo Picasso or about the painter’s conflicts with the self declared art popes of the beginning of the twentieth century ; whether it’s about the inner conflict of John the Baptist from ‘THE BEHEADING OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST’ by the brilliant painter Michelangelo da Caravaggio or about the conflict between the presumed murderer Michelangelo Merisi (a.k.a. Caravaggio) and his persistent persecutors doesn't make much difference. What matters is the way all these people deal with the recurrent conflicts (conflicts we all, sooner or later, have to face) and the impact of these conflicts on their (and/or our) existence.

In order to emphasize these conflicts I, after a decades long quest and thanks to the current computer technology, developed a process which allows me to explore these conflicts to the extreme depth.

I scan a particular work of art, make a computer model out of this scan and throw (in my own idiosyncratic way) a virtual bomb into this computer model. Subsequently I use the most advanced computer techniques to create 24 space paintings out of the remaining shatters. 24 - omni ~ dimensional - paintings which I transfer to the tangible and three-dimensional world by means of the most advanced computer controlled technology. Self-developed digital techniques I use in order to cross the analogue boundary of the second millennium, in order to introduce the traditional painting and its age-old two-dimensional tradition into the virtual and digital age of the third millennium. I create works of art, transcending (out of their own time and space transcending - omni ~ dimensionality - ) the three-dimensional restrictions of the traditional painting.  

I set off for a trip across the boundaries of time and space and create 24 - omni ~ dimensional - variations on the original masterpiece.  24 - bio » « centric - space paintings, standing for 24 of the countless states of mind ( fear - revenge - envy - joy - sorrow - etc.  ),  states of mind which form the inducement, the essence and the outcome of all conflicts.

Finally I sign, in order to materialize the universal and unbreakable link between the various - bio » « centric - space paintings and myself as their creator, in order to create a genuine bionic work of art, each - bio » « centric - space painting with my own DNA. ( see: ‘THE - bio » « centric - VISION’ / ‘THE - bio » « centric - DNA PROJECT’ on this website.).  

Hoping you will enjoy your trip through the universe of my - bio » « centric - space paintings I remain,

sincerely yours,
