Abstract expressionist paintings by internationally exhibited Scottish born artist Stephen Beveridge.
Engaged in the creative process, or for that matter anything that gets me out of my head and alters my perception of the flow of time, I feel more alive and worthwhile than just about any other time. The artifacts of these moments hold the ability to remind me of the transcendent state and even initiate a recurrence.
This painting does not represent, it reveals.
In its mystery I search for shapes,
naming clouds to feel less alone.
seeking comfort in recognition
still
The painting reflects me,
a Rorschach of the soul,
a mirror of the willing.
It holds a quiet message,
an oracle waiting to answer,
not with prophecy,
but with recognition.
Whenever I return,
it shows me more
than I admit to knowing.
