The Painting and The Common Vein

Copyright The Common Vein 2014
On Art – The artist places brushstrokes and sometimes dots of different color and texture together in pursuit of creating something new, surprising , and whole – a new Oneness.
Units, bonds and driving forces in the context of space and time are part of art.
The painting is an example .
The artist attempts to create a wholeness out of the units and the art succeeds if the wholeness is depicted and sensed by the observer. The artist wants to tell a story and uses size shape position and color of individual brush strokes to do this. Davidoff Art Copyright 2014
The final piece becomes whole and stands alone but in the context of the art studio, home, or museum . There is occasion when an art piece makes you stand in awe at the miracle of the genius artist who has give the world a glimpe of wholeness.
