Albert Irvin: life to painting |
albert irvin
a celebration of Being Albert Irvin's encounters with nondual awareness are entirely somatic. His aim is to find a way to make explicit the ineffable human spirit … his subject is the question: how can the INNER experience of being alive be laid on canvas in visual language? ~
"Can I make a painting about human experience
source - Paul Moorhouse,
Albert Irvin: life to painting ~
Paul Moorhouse, Tate curator and author of the
book Albert Irvin: life to painting,
wrote of him: 'even to those familiar with his
work, seeing a new painting by Irvin can be an
extraordinary experience akin to discovering a
young, energetic artist in the first flush of
ambition. Given the force of its restless
energy, its freshness and the sense it
communicates of an artist in love with his
chosen activity, it is even more surprising to
realise that this is the work of an artist in
his late seventies.'
