ANYWAY, the paintings: overflowing w/ animism, humor, esoteric symbolism - about the latter: I don't even necessarily care about what it MEANS, it still resonates w/ MEANING.. no matter what. The paintings are utterly convincing that there's life behind life on top of life in parallel dimensions to life in death, in, in.. IN other words, the work strikes me as truly visionary: the product of a seer, of a mind so open that it SEES even the invisible w/ intense accuracy. Some of them, "Chiki, ton pays" eg, are so detailed & finely wrought that they easily rival their precursors amongst the alchemical illustrations in the magnificent Taschen "Alchemy & Mysticism".
Many of the works are in private collections. If I had one of Carrington's paintings in my home I'm not sure I cd bear it. It'd be almost impossible to not look at constantly, it's presence wd be so powerful that it might burn me out like a surge in an unprepared circuit. Looking at a Carrington painting, even in reproduction, is like finding what you didn't even know you were looking for during an acid trip.. & then being unable to absorb its lesson. Nonetheless, even having the experience at all is enuf to make a profound impression.
But, then, do you ever wonder? WHY?! I mean the odd spirit intensely channels so many potentials in life, crosses astounding borders & abysses, creates such wonders as these paintings.. & THEN? dies. But then I wrote earlier "there's life behind life on top of life in parallel dimensions to life in death". I can only hope that Carrington manages to burn so bright in many ways & shape-shiftings unto & beyond 'til death do us part.
