Below is a work in progress,
Chen Lee Water Suspension - Prestige, from the series of work,
The Return/Pledge/Turn/Prestige/Enter, or for short "
The Return/ ... /Enter" which was begun in 2009. Like I said before it stemmed out of the
Parallel Panels
body of work. For each of the 5 installations in the series, the
requirements are: that all are squares (4 sides equal), there are 4
panels in each installation, there are 4 repeated elements inside each
panel, all create a system which shifts, morphs, all are painted with
oil paints or have them incorporated in some way, are on on different
base medium (canvas, wood, linen, etc...), all transform in various ways
in order to correspond to a panel or panels within each in the group,
as well as other requirements. Each installation corresponds to each of
the other installations and changes graphically and texturally, thus
painterly throughout the entire series.
The title of the series is an analogy to the basic elements of all fine
art experiences and it is an extension of the 3 basic segments of all
magic performances:
Pledge, Turn, and Prestige.
I created 2 of the installations in 2009,
Substitution Trunk - Return,
Linking Rings - Pledge; I created
Cups and Balls - Turn, this year, 2011; and I should complete the series this year (2013) with the final 2 installations.
See
earlier posts on the series for more information and documentation.
