Neville Paine - Travail

Pour parler de ses tableaux, Neville Paine fait volontiers référence à la musique.
"On peut prendre plaisir écouter Mozart sans intervenir l'intellect. Mais, si on est musicien, on éprouvera encore plus de plaisir."
Ainsi, ses 'toiles', peuvent-elles se lire à plusiers niveaux. On peut être touché par la représentation, l'agencement des formes et des couleurs, mais l'examen des signes discrets qui parsement l'oeuvre amene une autre lecture, plus réflechie.
Il s'en explique avec une derniére pirouette musicale.
"Comme chez Mozart, je ne refuse pas qu'on voie dans mes 'tableaux' une certaine grace, mais je penche davantage vers Schoenberg", (l'atonalité, le deconstruction et reconstruction) avant de préciser ses penchants picturaux:
"Si le cote zen de Rothko me touche spirituellement, je suis aussi trés attiré par l'aspect presque 'littéraire' de Goya, avec ce 'quelque chose' qui va plus loin."
De fait, la technique de Neville Paine lui permet d'effacer, le frontiére entre figuration et abstraction et de naviguer d'un bord à l'autre sans entrave.

Neville Paine - Work

To explain his work, Neville Paine volunteers a musical reference.
"One can take pleasure in listening to Mozart without applying intellect. But, if one is a musician, the intellect comes into play, and the consequent 'pleasure' is more profound."
Hence, Neville Paine's 'tableaux' can be read on several levels; the representation (the arrangement of composition and colour), but when examining the discreet 'signs/symbols' which pierce his works, a more complete reading is revealed.
He explains further with another 'pirouette' musical.
"As in Mozart, I admit to trying to evoke a certain grace in the compositions, but I lean towards the atonality, the deconstruction and reconstruction provoked by Schoenberg."
Concerning his 'pictorial' preferences, Neville Paine explains that,
"If the zen of Rothko touches me spiritually, I am also influenced by the 'literary' aspects of Goya's work".
The technical ability of Neville Paine enables him to break down the frontier between figuration and abstraction without hinderance to his concepts.
