Jamali
Jamali is the creator of the most innovative surfaces in
the history of art, in fact, the most highly original
artist to emerge in our time. He has a unique faculty
for creating new styles and techniques in painting.
These innovations are decisive new steps in art history
that push the limits of imaginative frontiers. Jamali's
methods of painting with his feet, outdoors, and
working with the elements over long periods of time,
pushes the technical and expressive limits of these
materials. To understand the significance of Jamali's
materials is to understand how the materials are
inseparable from the meaning of the works.
There is a perennial theme in Jamali's work of an inner
search that is expressed in the triumphal and mythic
imagery originating from his dream life. Tied to this
theme is another important theme; the expression of
the mystical experience and the scientific experience
(the theories of quantum mechanics) as essentially the
same; this gives rise to a new mythology. Jamali
ritualizes this new mythology by dancing the paintings
in the midst of the elements and the natural world,
creating shimmering, mystical surfaces. The
overwhelming body of work he has created stems
directly from this involvement in the ritual.
