Contemplations - Paintings by Asta Caplan

In this collection of paintings of flowers and interiors one enters the realm of dreamy yet acute observation, contemplation and awareness. The flowers - the tulips in particular - one sees in this exhibition are part of a period of about two years of study and delightful and nowadays rare expectation of seasonal blossoms which only show their full range of beauty in Spring. To observe these short lived, mesmerisingly manifold and constantly changing flowers is enough - I believe - to capture something deeper in human intellect and wonder. And as the original subject takes a new guise, the realities start to shift - Dreams and the daylight will shake hands.
