Seething Landscape

Pastels
140×55 cm
Firstly, I would like to display a poem,
Transcendence!

By C.C. Arshagra.

Inspired by the pastel creation titled “Seething Landscape”:
by the artist “pauldrobertson”

I believe time can heal the impossible
And open up the realms of storm
To finding the peace of soul’s reasoned being

Enter the mind is torn together by form
The agony of bones discovering
The wisdom of the wild sky’s breathing

And there is no more intelligence of fighting
When madness fills up the void with laughter
And transcends the broken world

With a wholeness so unlimited

From “The Oxygen Garden / Love Nature Poetry” press22 Manuscript by C.C. Arshagra (Soon to be a published work)

This piece is fairly definitive of one of my major themes.

The figure in the foreground is me, and I am looking at my watch. This is meant to be in contrast to the figures floating into the sky and the incoming storm. It is about subjectivity – in the end, we are all ultimately self-involved as it is our own perceptions that govern us and we can never know another.

I am also, always, always, obsessed with time. It seems such a strange thing to me.

The piece has a bit of history too – one of my closest friends was interested in buying it, but at the same time I had no money to frame a similar piece that I wanted to enter into a competition. SO I made him a deal – if he paid for the framing of the other piece I would enter it into the competition and if it won he could have this one for the price of the framing. If it didn’t win then I would give him a discount.

Oddly, it won, so this pierce is now in Tim Jackson’s possession. The sister piece is called “Harbinger” and is on the same gallery in my webpage www.pauldrobertson.com
. It won the Katanning art award in 2002.

Hi Paul,

Really interesting re time. I have been pressured by time for as long as I can remember. It is mostly an unconscious or conditioned thing in me. Over the past year I have had some big wakeup calls which really slowed me down. I then began to realise that my rush was to prove myself. I am now consciously stopping myself each time I feel I am speeding ahead of a calm place. Further I am becoming more aware that a need to prove myself is not healthy.

Sheer BRILLIANCE!!!!

Paul, Thank you for posting the poem next to the painting. I’m sure this space is sacred to you, and so I am all the more honoured to the very depths that one can feel so. O.K. so I’m lying on the floor now dead and really happy about it because no one was harmed or hurt in the process. And (get this) there are tears of joy flowing out of the ends of my eyes and then i wake up laughing and there you are, laughing too, And then as you lean forward to hand me=y a large brandy snifter of straight up Benedictine, here I notice this very painting on the wall behind you. My laughter turns quite as does yours and my tears turn to peace and calm and bliss. We toast.” To Nothing At All! The very heat of hands have warmed the liquid amber. swilling against the sides to trying to defy gravity and the composition of oxygen. Our noses enter the glasses full of captured intoxication and we breathe. Nirvana happens; so we taste the drink you poured over my funeral and swallow nothing painful

Cool dream … huuh
Thanks again paul!
