Polygonal 21 (2010) 디지털 아트 Richard Horvath 로

The sublimely elegiac Ultravox song, Hiroshima Mon Amour, with its references to people dressed in European grey and meeting beneath the autumn lake where only echoes penetrate, is so redolent with imagery. Thus despite first hearing it in the early 1980's a type of syncretistic connection was made when studying the grey suited figure that occupies the centre of this composition. This haunting world war two figure was prepared for but not used in an earlier print and I was determined to find an environment where he could plausibly be found. This came when I thought about a print featuring the statuesque pines that characterise the sandy coastal landscape where I live. Watching raindrops form rings in a puddle during the first cold days after a protracted warm summer provided the final narrative element. Although they are probably fictitious and suspect, this piece speaks of memory and place. Somehow memories of the place where I have spent most of my life, the city of Melbourne and its surrounds, frequently are recalled in a wintry light.
