Item Overview

Description

JACK LEONARD SHADBOLT, R.C.A., ISLAMIC MEMORY, oil on canvas; signed and dated '64.'75. 58 ins x 48 ins; 145 cms x 120 cms. Literature: Jack Shadbolt, In Search of Form, Toronto/Montreal, 1968, page 148. Note: Following Shadbolt's two trips to the Mediterranean, the impact of Abstract Expressionism led to his exploration of remarkably gestural and calligraphic compositions. Islamic Memory attests to the artist's growing interest in vigorous and esoteric script over large fields of washes in the 1960s. In his seminal text, In Search of Form, Shadbolt describes his process: "My first lead off...was to think in the vague direction of some historical script...and I would improvise in its spirit. I started thinking of the ways in which script occurred, such as in a written poem, an old manuscript, a song...I had entered a whole new territory on invention and the idea expanded into painting...I did requiems and elegies on a large scale in pure colour and all-over script patterns of variable colour relays one over another." In Islamic Memory, the artist's patterns appear as dancing calligraphic forms, exuding dynamism and mystery.
