About the Item

"When Words Fail" is made applying acrylic on canvas over olive branch-teased gel medium with metallic and other dry pigments and mystery patina. The piece is currently framed and mounted on a stretcher, but can also be removed for the canvas to be rolled up and shipped in a tube, if that is more convenient. Please contact us for further information on the shipping process Ron Mills-Pinyas’ paintings point to what in creation is, fragile, even possibly frail in a world of powerful simmering explosions of colour and beautiful molecular sub-realities. The delicate and sometimes daunting balance in nature we sense when we see Mills-Pinyas’s best work has nothing to do with insubstantiality, but rather his work evokes what is truly essential, uncovering the fundamental nature of being, what is beyond individual parts to show true essence. We see organic raw material mingled to become enigmatic organisms with self will. Are we viewing construction or deconstruction? The emerging or submerging in the primordial soup of life? Are we witnesses to active forces creating, evolving slowly from essence through individual definition of parts to the final becoming of an organism or are we viewing the reverse process? The becoming is governed by the essence of what is trying to push to the foreground. It can feel threatening because it feels unstable to the observer and unveils what we have always feared deep inside, that the world is capricious and unpredictable. We are confronted with the dichotomy of creation, good and evil, but mostly the uneasy feeling of randomness in creation. The possibility, likelihood, of this wantonness in creation challenges our determinist view and the sense of order we labour to bring to our lives. We can experience the deconstruction of what is, threatening what we think as concrete and real. In Mills-Pinyas’ paintings we do not know if we are seeing the beginning or the end, but we know we are seeing the essence of organic life going through molecular metamorphosis with all its colourful, textural, and at times terrible beauty.
