| Sigawayan - Awakening of the Apocalypse I - II (diptych) |
In painting Sigawayan (stage name of Wong Wing Kuen) mix the fluid art of East and West. These raging currents meet and highly chromatic originate reels and foam dreamy, but actually they are synchronous and integrated into the fabric art of meditation, in a way that goes beyond the apparent contradictions and reveals the secret unit. So the artist produced in Asia is far from exotic, rather brings an enrichment of the vision that emanates from within.
While in Western classical painting and looked out at the top, refining the design in imitation Nature and spiritually, the images of religion and myth, the Far East pictorially nell'indeterminabile faded, bringing the look inside, in a meditative subjectivity so deep to reach the mystery of the matrix. Since the modern Western art celebrated the dynamic contradictions, according to an epic driving that sought to gain a new sense, spiritualized existentially, though, as I discussed at length in my book The Tao of Painting, the heroic efforts can build a colossus with feet of clay, or abstruse, if creation is not supported by the inner awareness and meditation. This is why many great painters of the twentieth century strove to rediscover themselves, and to recreate the Eastern tradition of meditation classes, less canonical and more focused on the individual.
globally accepting this artistic heritage, including virtue of her own life between East and West, Sigawayan Ponteggia the two cultures responding to the current melting-pot culture in which confront the new challenges and ferment of Art. During his long stay in Florence, he has explored more meaningful stimuli, learning even the mystical painting of icons, yet kept the pride of identity and freedom of expression research. His pictorial world unfolds with inflorescences strongly chromatic, we remember the love of the ancient Far Eastern painters for the flowers, and plastic structure of his paintings often reflected the intentions of Chinese painting of landscape, consult the various elements in 'harmonization of Yin and Yang at other times of the inserts in black and white recall the tonal richness of ink painting.
The painter follows the old precept of painting in the eastern circle, all-encompassing symbol of the Tao, so the forms become entangled, almost botanically, so fluid and circular, with a dynamic metamorphism which constantly evolve. This circularity, which is an expression of creative harmony virtuality of inner energy, was discovered by modern art in the West, and this applied irrationally subversive, and many modern artists have thereby denied the penalty, freeing the creative feminine, wild and iconoclastic. So in contemplating the work of Sigawayan we can find similarities with the organic abstractions of Arshile Gorky, or with Andre Masson, and even delusions Co.Br.A circles, but the detachment of the artist keeps in eastern ineffable balance. However, there is a primitive pathos, and even the contemplation of the abyss, but any hint of annihilation has consciously and joyfully the seed of rebirth, dell'irrefrenabile change.
The quality of the Far East is Sigawayan especially in his line to be painter, by which embroiders his magnificent universes, and noble follower pulse calligraphy. The spiritual treasure of oriental calligraphy has the central character of some paintings, which performs compositions that are incomprehensible to us linguistically, sign but seductive, dense writing this post is like a veil to cover the sacred depths of the canvas, which shows the face of a Buddha deep in meditation. In other interesting paintings, calligraphy, drawings of anthropomorphic images and hieratic, placed on a golden background absolutist, these figures worship a central sphere, and mother of pearl button, which is a representation of the whole. These works, profoundly iconic, are square, the symbol of the Earth that is complementary to the circularity of the sphere, symbolic of heaven. The line informs the harmonious shapes crouched, imparting a vibration intimate and devotional.
