In Radiance— Now at Just Looking Gallery, San Luis Obispo CA
The final mystery is oneself. When one has weighed the sun in the balance, and measured the steps of the moon, and mapped out the seven heavens star by star, there still remains oneself. Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul?
–Oscar Wilde, De Profundis (1897)
Things to do so I have to be short this morning. Recently sent a group of work, including In Radiance (shown above), out to the Just Looking Gallery in beautiful San Luis Obispo, CA. It’s a longtime, well-established gallery headed up by Ralph Gorton that has represented my work on the West Coast since 2012. They do a great job for me out there.
I thought the passage from Oscar Wilde from the letter, De Profundis, written during his incarceration in the Reading Gaol, served as a fine companion to In Radiance, a 24″ by 24″ canvas, as well as the song below, Beginning to See the Light, from the Velvet Underground with Lou Reed from 1969.
