Vecors & Vortexes by Alex Stone in Auckland

Vectors and vortexes 2003 Acrylic and shellac on canvas This is another work in the series inspired by exclamation marks Here Alex moves from a tightly controlled conceptual investigation to an expansive dramatic gestural work of passion The off-set exclamation mark is the premise of the painting It takes the exclamation mark to new heights of play in brush strokes that invoke vectors and vortexes into forcefields of expression Crackling energy courses through this painting in joy and discovery calling to worlds within words in the sheer delight of painterly exclamation We the viewer drop into this vortex of exhilaration and are flung out and around absorbed and return offset in wonder
