The Art of Conspiration
Why does the artist paint? Is it not the artists main goal to express some thing, to convey some message or meaning to the viewer? Without the viewer there is no need for the painting. If there is no need for the painting, then there is no need for the artist. The art, artist, and viewer form a triangle. A shared empathy between these three components of the triangle is essential. If we remove any one of the three components or the empathy that joins them, there is only non-existence. In an ideal situation, when this triangular convergence of art, artist and viewer occurs, it produces the 'Art of Conspiration'. Art should be a very intimate experience between the artist and the viewer. A great work of art gives the viewer a deep look into the artist's psyche while subconsciously the art itself penetrates the viewers thoughts, melding the three into a union of shared empathy. Do you not feel your own breathing change subtly or sharply as your eyes behold and move over the surface of a painting, sculpture, or other work of fine art. If only for a brief moment the artist, the art, and viewer become one. 'Conspiration' denotes the ancient technique used to harmonize breathing between two or more persons. Applied correctly, 'conspiration' is reputed to successfully control a given individual's psyche, even his or her sexual desires. Should not a work of art also accomplish these same goals through the use of color, texture of brushstrokes, geometric patterns and their specific placement, in abstraction as well as figurative representations of the human form? The 'Art of Conspiration' asserts that the controlled breathing technique of 'conspiration' can be aptly applied to the profound bonding of the artist and the viewer through the shared media of the artwork. Through the application of geometry, color, texture, specific arrangement and placement of forms and shapes, the 'Art of Conspiration' can transform a work of art into a link that bonds the art, the artist, and the viewer together in a shared empathy, forever impacting the viewer through the exchange. |

Randy Thurman is an abstract painter first and foremost, but also a gifted musician and writer. The artist paints and creates from his studio/home in the southern United States with his wife Christy. Geometric abstractions are Thurman's truest passion, but the artist has always marveled at the grace and beauty of the human form. |
