Bewildering Beauty

Initially, it appears Jackson Pollock's interspatial painting "Ocean - Tribute," overtly oversteps the boundaries of abstract art. And the eye struggles to validate its bewildering beauty, hidden amongst the dribbled droplets of paint! But then, seemingly spontaneously, the blobs and dapples of color intermingle in purpose. And you see a kaleidoscope of shapes and forms merge and disperse into limitless shifting patterns; as your imagination gains access to the artist's dream. Unique to the beholder: interpretations tap into the imagination, to abstractly convey cemetery and fluid motion in the natural cadence of chaos. Beyond beautiful; it's breathtaking!

Emile, you have made the abstract real. It is a "breathtaking" experience to delve into the reality this painting holds - like watching clouds change shapes. Congratulation on your win my friend!

"seemingly spontaneously, the blobs and dapples of color intermingle, and you see a kaleidoscope of shapes and forms merge and disperse into limitless patterns" His art is brilliant; as is this poem of tribute, Emile.
