Note: with abstract paintings objects & symbols are in the eyes of the beholder. See through the painter's eyes. Above: red seal Ch'i Yün used here to imply life force, movement... Buddhist/Taoist aesthetics are all-encompassing.
Temp notes: Speculation about technology replacing human beings in perhaps all relevant areas of work needs deeper thought about the reality of being and purpose in existence, the higher mind and its expressions through the body.... and innumerable tasks are for people always. "Replacement" is a fault in formal art history, as if a change more modern period has circumvented the cultural significance and quality of beauty in other periods in terns of deoth of image and meaning.
Aside from the all-encompassing Spirit, there is an immediate flow. Not everyone has been aware of it.
"When you give people too much information they instantly resort to pattern recognition. The contemporary artist is always seeking new patterns. Which is his task... the indispensability of the artist..." - Marshall McLuhan (interview 70's)
