Artists make their subconsciousness visible

Artists make their subconsciousness visible I explored the fact that much of what an artists does occurs in his subconsciousness. It is 'there' that 'images' are stored, transformed and dug out or made visible. Many American Abstract Expressionists believed the above to be the case and used this insights as a principle that guided their work practice itself. In my own case this storehouse is combined with my philosophical reflections on and explorations of how my 'aesthetic-related' insights, perception and thinking on art works. Compare the above thoughts with the following words on the American Expressionists in general and Motherwell in particular - the artist works through his philosophical speculations as well as more, 'strictly artistic problems, in the viscosity of paint, of color fields, form, colour, composition, line, texture, etc. The works on display on my blogs, site (www.newstylesgallery.info, Facebook, etc) reveal the thoughtful and inventive manner with which Ulrich, I, approach my work and display the prolonged relevance of both my more aesthetic inquiries, as well as my philosophical analyses of, reflections on and explorations of the subconscious and conscious 'thinking' and activities of the artist. It was Matta who introduced Motherwell to the concept of “automatic” drawings. The Surrealists often deployed the process of automatism, or abstract “automatic” doodling to tap into their unconscious. Compare this with what I expressed above about my own way of working. This concept had a lasting effect on Motherwell, but it was conceptually changed, when Motherwell met Wolfgang Paalen in Mexico and decided to prolong his stay and to spent several months in his studio. 5th May, 2015. ulrich
