David Marisel's Lake Project #15 impressed me two ways; the directional pull of the painting, from bottom left to upper right, from earthly browns to aspirational blues, provided a subconscious spiritual pull. On the one hand, the utter the lack of "for-text" caused me to question what it was that I was looking at. The wash of colors, the abstract imagery, build a flood like background for what might be present in Renaissance-type construction of a biblical scene. But the artist leaves it to your imagination to fill in what could be in the foreground. It's as if a great landscape painter left the little village by the stream out of the picture. Would Noah and his Ark and maybe a few animals looking out a porthole, enhance the story of the Lake Project in Marisel's painting, just as the little village might in the contrived landscape scene? Who knows? That's Art!
