LTNY19 XUN LVII

CHAOTISM appreciates and acknowledges the beauty of duality which reflects in all that surrounds us. The infinite Cycles, opposing flow of order & chaos, battling forces establishing perfect balance. Constant action - reaction between these two forces are the key to creation. CHAOTISM strives to provoke and direct, whilst acknowledging and respecting this omnipresent force. These forces can not rule purely by them selves. They are in need of each others influence to stay in motion. As a creator practising CHAOTISM one must respect these cycles. Appreciate the process for what is, evolving, infinite, endless... Do not get attached to what is ahead or in the past. Focus on where you are and observe where creation takes you. Stay open to new options, new directions every step of the way. Avoid attachment to a premeditated outcome.

The title refers to a hexagon of the i-ching, XUN nr 57, which is the ultimate of the wind element, permeate, transitioning offering no possibility of return. Ltny19 series was commenced as an interactive chaos provocation at a new years event, the canvas remained in Belgium and evolved into being the first paintings I’ve finalized upon my definite return. The paintings are mostly blue which reflects the mourning of the project left behind in Cambodia with contrasting colors symbolizing hope and optimism towards new foundation. This is the darkest work in this series and was the first to be finalized.
