Theo Willemse: The Art of Form

direct link: video (some clips) of Theo's show, The Art of Form.



drama of the view through, frame of sculpture, of carved and polished wood
cuts the scene like a tribal rite



forms with the presence of a Seurat, geometric, rounded, stabilized, and earthy, the bulbs of plants, organic, and that stillness of Resnais' Last Year at Marienbad (1961), intrigue of love, the pursuit that never arrives, this room contains



memories of trees, wood from a special and beloved tree, reborn in sculpture
tree of life



sweet friends
a Joycean moment
their bench in the middle of Ulysses



portrait of the artist as a middle-aged man



take a seat, contemplate life, or how to live
for an hour



come to the end of time with me, rest awhile
