It Is What It Is An Ekphrasis
IT IS WHAT IT IS an Ekphrasis
Without narrative, isolated as is
moments of figuration..
sunlight on the side of a wall..
frozen in time..conversations of
unheard voices.
Within, stillness and a paradox..
a welcome to the world to come
inside.. to reside.. commune.
This interplay of imagination..
soundless tunes..emblematic
silences..symbolism saturated with
suggestion.
Soft realism where an inner life
slowly cries..gestates..
to lay forever on canvas..the
whole answer..there... before
our eyes.
An Ekphrasis trbute to the art of Edward Hopper
