Ran Webber has been painting for 45 years and shown in numerous
regional and national museum and gallery exhibitions. The ideology
of this still-life series entitled Resurrection and re-invention
is concerned with Immersion, Saturation, Dissolution and Re-invention of the painted surface (technique emphasizing process), and, creating illusionistic images that fool the eye by encouraging the perception of the image as appearing to move back and forth thru the broken and textured picture plane. The intention is to break the picture plane by folding the image surface, Then to fool the eye by juxtaposing illustionistic classical shadowing with actual surface shadows created by the surface folds. Majorly then, to create still-life imagery of geometric sculpture of ambiguous scale balanced serenely
within a ambiguous Universe. The actual working process includes designing (drawing) the image
digitally, transferring that to paper and adding paint to the image which
then is taken to specific natural/historical location where it then is
immersed (baptized) and saturated in water; this establishes a unique
historical signature (place /time) for each piece. The saturated piece is then crumpled, squeezed, folded and dried. Finally the image is painted(re-invented) in earnest with varying layers and washes. Lastly, shadows are painted. This whole self-evolving process allows for control of the dissolution and then for the resurrecting and re-inventing of the original idea (image). Various elements of the entire process are allowed or emphasized to read thru. My creative /historical (romantic) impulses are served, as well as, my desire for fun and adventure this series is a visual document. 2003/2004 |
