Raoul De Keyser - In Memoriam

Raoul De Kyser, Front, 1992, H. 65" x W. 48.5"

I know your paintings, and that is how I know your soul.  I feel some sense of loss in my possessed knowledge of your life, and I sense it through the made objects of yours, and through your art I know you.  I feel like I just found out I lost a friend.  I love your paintings.

Passing transparencies, slow melodic builds, quiet crescendos, the paint breaths across the surface, blobs squirt and announce muted moments.

Loney doplet, lovely moment, echoed by shadows of previous marks in the pinkish beige paint.  I love your paintings.  RIP.

The Sands of Time

The Sculpture?

This sculpture stands in the Kreuzsburg area of Berlin.  I came across it on my drunken late-night walk home.  I searched for an explain-o.  I found a little placard detailing an impetus behind the amalgam as 'symbolic of those lives wasted living under the totalitarian rule of communism'.  Guess that sums it up.  It's unfortunate though from the perspective of the United States that we have demonized so much associated with communism as bad, that it must be noted that these versions of communism had more to do with control and dictatorship (of which being totalitarian) and than with useful tenants of socialism.  Regardless...this image stands in my mind more or less symbolic of my Time in Europe coming to an end.  I will be back.  My life will go on, but oh boy I do miss her right now.
