When the Circus Leaves Town


I feel appeal from metaphysical shapes, swirling light and heaviness of black in Sebastian Hammwohner’s ‘When the Circus Leaves Town’. The black sheet grants heaviness to brightly colored lines so it looks a very meditational moment to me. Like a psychedelic sound of universe. For Sebastian Hammwohner, blackness represents the space of artistic creation and of cosmetic infinity. He said he explores the spiritual relationship between the interior psychic self and the sublime natural world. He shows us his aim through brightly colored spirals and spheres rendered in pastel and chalk.
For Sebastian Hammwohner, his drawing materials, pastels and chalk, represents a form of dust or dirt as an accumulation of inert matter that might possibly manifest into a creation. ‘When the Circus Leaves Town’ shows me altering moment from actual moment to abstract moment.

This is a really nice drawing and your analysis is so engaging -'the moment whan actual turns abstract'. I'm really pleased, YunSun that you posted these messages: it's not too late either, as they add to the all the many different ideas we have about drawing, what it should be for, how the mark sare made and what they say about being human! Thanks again, best wishes from Frances
