Rene Laubies |
The naturalist non-figurative abstract impressions of Rene Laubies, spiritual tête of "nuagisme," vague appellation engendered by his critics ignoring much his exteriorized plasmas wind-blown ash over arid terrains anonymous transparencies loosened stain on torrid earthen walls
The light of quiescent colour, his tableaux, shade without tension toneless shade, texturous shade with warmth rubbed patchy under fine-scratched brushings sun-blanched mauve
"Just chase away the thoughts from your mind" he said at Puri in subtle modulations of gait and laughter the culminating issuance of modernist trends since the ancient Chinese Tang
Odorous strains, fecund terseness disarming in their paucity stoic sheer each new tablet out-flanking its precursor pure abstraction retaining no interpreters inwardly comporting devoid of gnostic footnotes unsolicitous ramps precipitating ends
Winters in Palakunnu village stunning amazing salubrious calm alert cessative tinctures of jissom diluted dried and peeling in morning sun
Spring exhibitions in Paris and Milan returning through the Greater and Lesser Sundas hunger loss tabulation thristing in patterned stains of sweat-laced breezes, hiking off alone when the turpentine is finished transparently alive in a pan-Islamic silence
