An image of desire


Is the idea superior to the object? The idea of a painting seems always so near but at the same time also so distant from the actual action of painting. The intuitional object is never the same as the finished painting. The intuitional object is something so hard to grasp, maybe because intuition's essence is generative. It can be said that the finnished painting does express, simulate, represent, convey, symbolize something of the idea and the desire. However, what the painting precisely seems to show is the difference. Desire shows itself in a painting as the tuning of the same that is always not the same.
