'The Empire of Light'
After a lifetime of looking at paintings you start seeing the world through the prism of art. The geometry and structure of buildings, the division of space and interval, the rhythm and order of windows and doorways, have been explored by artists from Canelleto to Vermeer. Compositional arrangements follow the constraints and boundaries of the picture frame and are found throughout art history. The surrealist Magritte adopted these principles and added his oblique twist, reversing expectation and confounding the natural order of appearance.
At night, in our towns and streets, the electric lights conspire to create a world of magic realism: Magritte-like tableaux emerge from the the shadows as daylight fades.
