BILL GINGLES American, b. 1958

Like Wassily Kandinsky whose seminal aesthetic treatise, concerning the 'Spiritual in Art', posited that the language of abstraction was capable of expressing deeper truths and communicating them to all five senses, Bill Gingles’ paintings function as catalysts for the transmutation of painterly matter into spirit. Describing his practice as “vague and privately shamanistic,” Gingles’ work is concerned with inner realms wherein line, shape and colour become significant in themselves.
