CITY OF LOVE
all those eyes looking, I am looking for the eyes of the artist. I hope to see in them, somewhat
almond-shaped, what I see in his work.
“…images that look like symbols and that
could represent sacred aspects of a religion. They could also be a group of
fusiform cells inmersed in a liquid womb…an eye, from the center, guards the
water. It knows the lack of water threatens life in the Planet, it is the eye
of God…” says the soul searcher to Rudolph Kohn, who answers: “The eyes
represent the presence of an absence.”
I
think about what I can’t grasp, that what I can’t explain but I know and feel
inside. Rudolf Khon takes me out
of my self absortion, he continues:
even if we are alone there is a presence, a presence of something,
someone in us, inside us. I multiply these feeling intertwined with the
affirmation of being, I develop these cities where all you can see is the
gathering of people, of thoughts, living as one in an ideal society.
How to
represent feelings, ideas, and thoughts…in a canvas?
What
is the process?
For
how long should you ponder on an idea before you start developing it? Or do you
simply act...?
It is
true that we are all the same, in the end we are humans. What makes a
difference in our way to create are our experiences. The essence is the
creative act, therefore individual, although sometimes we react collectively to
an event.
The
question we have asked ourselves sometime is: what is the reason for being, why
be? Where is the energy moving to? Is our planet the only one with human life
as we know it?
In the
series titled “City of Love” we see the connection, the similarities, and also
the differences and dissimilar forms: none similar to the other, like a
fingerprint. It is life, beginning and end, to be born and create again. Time
doesn’t stop, and we don’t know if we will ever reach the turning point in
which time stops. Maybe it is in the canvas where we will find eternity or
speed time…”
The
eyes are Rudolf Kohn’s symbolic language. Since he was very young he has seen
in them a representation of the unity of human beings, because you can sense in
them the feelings and physical, mental and material aspects of the human beings
of our planet.
I stop looking into his eyes to inmerse myself in the womb
of City of Love and I swim in the liquid of life, in the living water of its
creation.
