YUGEN

STILLNESS IN PROCESS

























‘Yugen' is a Japanese word describing the mysterious quality surrounding everything, to which our intuition responds.
​Nature of spirit is an underlying theme in much of my art making. Initially this inquiry was part of my inner process, Now I feel that any difference between spirit and form is just a relative one, So I look to make them synonymous in my painting.
​In this way I can empathise with the lifework of Mark Rothko. I feel his enquiry into myth, then Logos and finally a pure abstraction, exemplifying his inner journey as well as just the reductive process to abstraction.’
