Káti V Miláno       

"Fleeting personalities speaks to

the intersection of identity and culture
at large, the mingling dualities on the borders

of form and rhythm, color and structure.

With the idea of an intricately formal

yet exuberant and semi-improvisational piece

of music as a theme, the painting represents

a narrative tension between individuality

and union, an alternation between reaching-out

and drawing back into the center. Playing on

the idea of the Gemini and the Tarot,

it posits the formation of unity through

dissolution and interface, of connection through

realized self-sufficiency. The tendrils

of opposite and complementary color can be

either intrusions or communications outward,

the mass of color at the center either a combustion extending outwards or a gravity drawing strands of shape inwards from the fields beyond the plane of the image. In this way Fleeting Personalities introduces with ambiguity the element of time. It aims to conjure up the sense of a video which can always be played either forwards or backwards. It suggests an element of time like that of like the mythological whirlpool which always reverses direction twice a day, giving back what it has taken in: Juxtaposing tension and stasis in the context of a renewable system, Fleeting Personalities recalls the way in which we become different at different stages of life, are always losing and gaining habits, memories, feelings and attachments, and in this way the painting also seeks out the aspects of self which are not fleeting, the stillness at the heart of equal and opposite forces."
