"Beautiful Later," Art Installation NYC
“Fashion is what seems beautiful now but looks ugly later; art can be ugly at first but it becomes beautiful later.”
- from the eulogy for Steve Jobs.
Beautiful Later showcases abstract paintings by Harrison and Macdonald Love. Different aspects of their combined portfolios were selected by Celsius to express the spirit and experience of Citi Pond at Bryant Park.
Harrison Love
I believe in art's ability to express the inexpressable.
Take a moment to look around at this city and see the systems which we have devised to help us understand nature. Perspectival lines carve through our landscapes; steel and concrete are laid over every square foot and yet in our parks we honor nature by manicuring its shape and guiding its growth.
"ColdSnap" is a sudden blizzard upon a lush mountain landscape, carved into the viewer’s mind by abrupt shapes and sudden form.
"SpringFollow" is a fresh breath rushing into a winter world, revealing rocks which ford ponds and rivers exciting the senses with the potential of the new.
My work begins naturally and follows a process of careful manicuring to guide the paintings natural growth.
I believe my paintings explore the ineffable ideas within nature and within ourselves.
Macdonald Love
I believe in the health of art.
My paintings are elaborate narratives built from provocative relationships that invoke the creative impulse.
"Airplay" is an endless line dancing against a target, finding form in the morphing architecture of repetition and experimentation.
"Appleseed" is two lovers embracing from all sides, finding eachother against a landscape of seasons and summits.
The health of art resides in our ability to inspire creative confidence in ourselves and others. My goal is to create a world of meaningful adventure that is mutually unique and self-illuminating for the artist in us all.
