Christopher Wood
The Artists Collection
16 - 23rd October 2004
Painted over the past ten years, most of the 25 paintings in this
exhibition had not been seen before and had been held by the artists
as key reference works.
On a Chris Wood painting
Bright sun drives us into shadows
into cells of meditation by hill or ocean
groping through the dizzying, black
measurelessness of caves that are also cave-
metaphores of our inner selves.
There, we are as the old Greeks saw us:
the shadows of unseen gods,
shadows thrown by the light of what we fear,
the cave door and the horizon;
our backs to the news that the troops are coming,
that Humvees pour on the land and earth turns red.
