A bleak, black negation of text and illustration, like an open Bible in The Rothko Chapel in HoustonΒ www.google.com/search?q=rothkoβ¦

Yes, indeed.
...and to even be eligible for comparison to such intense and remarkable work is a high praise, thank you!

No one else could paint like Rothko and emulating Jackson Pollock or Kline is harder than it looks. Your work is apparently free of influences from that quarter, all your own style.

I would like you to know that your words, (especially the last three in this reply), have made a difference. I became quite intrigued as to what my 'style' would look like/do/want/lead me to after a nine-year sabbatical, of sorts. Being surrounded by my work, people asking when and that last word, style. What would that be, now...after nearly a decade. Have a 'lost it', what /is/was/ all that about and other questions have led me to put paint to canvas. I made a painting, (and a half), in the studio this morning. I think it's fairly safe to mention it here, underneath old work in a comment...anyway. Thank you.

If you have started again and finish a work your admirers would be delighted to see it. I know I would be.
Since being ejected from Twitter [which was an addictive waste of time, let me tell you] I've started producing more fake 'paintings' of which this is the lastest:Β
Β there is a viridian green version as well:Β

Your fake paintings are legitimate digital abstracts, I like them.
When you say "ejected from twitter".....?

Suspended for being pro democratic and anti elite/oligarchs/corruption/child abuse etc. and persistently connectiong these things as being at the heart of the civil powers; at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I was also persistently anti Boris, anti-Conservative and Anti-Brexit, this offending at least 17.4 million people by telling them repeatedly that, yes, they WERE thick and di NOT know what they had voted for despite their protestations of having done so. When asked they simply display their ignorance, by the way. But I think it's the Israeluis who really don't like me for backing human rights [and political ethnographic rights] for Palestinians; and they have a VERY strong lobby on both sides of our Huse of Commons which I'd decried as a sham democracy packed with liars and perverts, adulterers and crooks for as long as I could remember [and I go back to before Profumo/Keeler/Ward etc, as seen on TV recently]. Also anti-'the orange baboon', thus alienating half the USA members.

Yes, well, that will happen.
You know that one of those groups falls into the category of...well, Voltaire innit guv: "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise"

I see you have something in secret and don't want to share with others.

haha, If you could tell me how many secrets there are I would be really impressed.

for some reason i never made your work larger by touching it--i am a fool. i know it -i use it all over- why not here. it led me to ...to desire...more..i -in a way-am glad i had the desire first then the larger form. still--to see in life......

to see in life would be different...

Very nice line.
Very nice indeed.
The "line" of the beginning. The straightening of the "lotus" through the human mind (noos).
π: 0 β©: 1
Interesting words...thanks for the comment...what happens when the two ends of the line meet...?
π: 0 β©: 1
I love the curved universe idea, in which the line is never actually straight, but curved (as space itself is curved in Einstein's work). This means the endsof a line always make a circle (when extended). The lotus is the curve... the circle is just O I guess.
All the best,
Solar

Barnett Newman is awesome - I feel like Barny is present in this piece.
Not like in a copy way - in a totally captured his spirit way. Wonderful.

Thanks...I have always been a fan of 'Barny', thanks for the kind words!

Yeah, I like calling him Barney - it cracks me up to think of a big purple dinosaur doing his paintings. For some reason I always imagine him with an English accent (even though I have heard his voice, and obviously it is American).
All the best,
Dick Whyte

Great textures as ever! when looking at it I get the feeling I'm looking out a window into the night, might just be me 
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you! That's interesting...I have a bit of an obsession with windows...I can see what you mean, and with my work what you see is what you see...no wrong reactions, just interesting responses like this...thanks!

It is written in blood. I am so glad I waited to view this til the lighting was better. I would have missed the red lines completely otherwise. They are understated, but very provocative.

You spotted the alizarin lines then Gloria...they are quite hard to see in the photograph...thank you for the comment and the fav!

I n the daylight they did not show up (the glare obscured them) but in the evening as the sun was going down & the lamp was on, they stood out like "Like fresh blood" it was an incredible effect.

maybe so...thanks for the comment.

It reminds me of the shutter on the image I just finished,really nice work...

Love the overall organisation of colour in this. The fact that the middle shines with white but actually looks mostly grey with the contrasting black looks nice and I really like the look of the image's texture.
Nice piece.

Good title! And I quite like the piece as well.

So many things to read in a white book.
So many things appears in a black book.
So many colors to decipher in a grey book.
May be some wisdom is this unlettered grey, white, black book.
