Description
Marcel Proust said: “The true journey of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.” Rather than innocently looking at what we see, we tend to recognize it. Seeing then comes down to labeling each thing we see as something known. To stop seeing it at that very moment.
But that river that is the reality that appears in front of us, at every moment, flows and changes constantly. And it is known that we do not bathe in the same river twice.
Patrick Glascher sees with new eyes.
And after seeing, he surrenders to being carried through the painting procedures in a noble way and without artifice or coups de effect. Trusting in that direct gaze, as in the laborious, subtle and loving relationship with the materials, he lets the work resolve itself.
From that delivery a natural painting will emerge. A form as seen as unknown and new. A whisper soft and familiar as well as strange and powerful. Strange and powerful as the present itself, when we see it with new eyes.
