Break-through

50 x 50 cm

1992

“In these two small Meta-paintings this celebration is still taking on a more or less understandable character. In another small very early Meta-painting, Break-through, the colouring does in no way show anything of the enthusiasm because of the fact that the Meta-artist had found the escape route to the much needed nonsensical.

What this small Meta-painting does show is that this escape route towards the nonsensical – how could it be otherwise?... – is highly nonsensical itself: not a breaking-through of boundaries, but a simple transcending of such boundaries, a total neglect of any limitations...

Which takes a very special kind of vitality.

Meta-vitality.”
