George Vergette
George Vergette’s work is as difficult to describe as it is to photograph.The work eludes the filmic process or photographic process.Layers of fused resin structured to generate great visual depth are, in person, spellbinding, whereas the camera diffuses the image in the distortion of visual reflections.As an experience the work conjures the emotional and spiritual depth of Mark Rothko. Much like Rothko’s work, the pieces require direct experience by the viewer, reproductions do not suffice.The work has, at times a transcendant quality evoking a contemplative and thoughtful mood.Other moments find works infused with text or more literal drawings jarring us into a state debating moments of quietude and angst, paralleling the dichotomies most of us experience in life, individually and culturally.
