Every piece of his work is always a sonar of his intensity. Carating piles and plies on each of his canvasses his sense of style. Grand. He combs into the sleazy layers of paint a conversation and sparkles of his mind. Witty. He knows the laws of physical physics which he drains into the arches and whorls of his surfaces. Master craftsman. While he processes tempering his feelings at work, the tension during his creative spell fritters all about his finished product. Dazzler.
Whatever kind of sheen he coats on the surface of his canvas---bronze, copper, gold, blue or red---his job or service holds no stillness. Each canvass miss the beat of stillness. His grids of colors are never timorous in their glow or radiance. They pierce into the awareness wide eyed like an eagle’s stare, almost with an audible grunt.
In his personal life, Carating is a scholar, an academe possessed with a storehouse of knowledge and matched with an acerbic fuselage of vocabulary. His presence stands next to the potency of his colors and grid works. In his large works, he uses space as a fission spot of his dialectical ideas and emotional responses. His bravura spirit turns each of his canvasses into a compelling art of balance and chaos.
Carating also reserves some visual tricks in the psyche of his works. He revels in these as some modern prose writers do with punctuations or turns of phrase to express obstinate paucity in the stream of ideas or to hark back to an antecedent in the chronological chain of facts. In his hands, a sudden indentation or a pitch of an underlying color reveals a shearing element of shock or repose.
In the patina of his colors, accidental shadows are drawn through the lighting element. The sonorous flight of his colors are further emboldened by the sudden awareness of delicate weaves or warps that line the majestic streaming networks of Carating’s grids. Yet a close examination of such imaginary crease only unravel more marvels of curiosity.
In particular, this one man exhibition of Carating is a magical tour of his work as an artist. It is a tableau of the stages of the process of his creative spirit: from chaos to order to chaos. A sprint from color dabbings to a universe of elegance. |
