Cathartic Aestheticism
Cathartic Aestheticism embodies the experiential attitudes of the action painters, yet provides within the confines of the canvas a theatre of self-examination, discovery and healing. The artist, in a state of emotional elation or turmoil, seeks to restore balance through manipulation of shapes, shades and colors. Truthful cathartic expression visually rendered can also be visually altered. As a conduit for interpretations of the collective soul, the artist translates noumenological propensities into pictorial representations, unconstrained by space or time. These cathartic renderings assist in establishing closure to personal and metapersonal gestalts through the artist´s quest to achieve beauty.
