01.01.2022 Mark Misic Black Mountain-Where the Four Winds Kiss (a diamond tantrum-paradisiacal syndrome, wild cries of ha ha) 1-4 2017 Acrylic on canvas -... I found myself in the most beautiful storm, on top of a mountain with lighting crashing down around me. This was love. - Black Mountains seem to be everywhere and are part of many myths. What intrigues me is that these mountains seem to act like markers, buoys, and beacons that hold a space pointing to and reflecting a larger universal field of ideas and experiences. Black mountains appear in many parts of my life. There is the Black Mountain near Cooktown signifying my current location. Then there are the Black Mountains of my father’s country, Montenegro. There are the Black Mountains that hover over Vancouver that I painted when I studied Art at Emily Carr in the 90’s. Yvonne Audette, my life drawing teacher at the Victorian College of the Arts, hung out with the Abstract Expressionists, De Kooning and Pollock who all studied art at the famous Black Mountain Art School. Most recently I travelled to Bhutan with my Yoga group where we visited Buddhist temples in the Black Mountains. Black Mountains feature in Buddhist philosophy where one sits at the center of a cremation ground known as ‘Wild Cries of Ha Ha’. I want these abstract paintings to act like mandala that access the viewer’s own internal landscapes, to be portals to their own imagination. These paintings are about looking through the layers of colour, texture, and gesture into an anthropomorphic lens. The paintings’ titles are ‘Guides’ to assist the viewer to begin tracking their own imagination. I hope the viewer can become still, see their own view, to find a feeling-mental picture that leads to their own Black Mountain. Mark Misic, 2017
