The Red in Resilience
85 x 107 cm
Edition 7/50
"Art is an instrument in the war against the enemy....".Pablo Picasso
The Story
The photograph of a yacht’s hull and a damaged rotting boom cover hanging off the side of the vessel was taken during the Syria conflict. In the reflection, I saw conflagration and destruction on the left side of the artwork flowing into an unknowable darkness in the middle right.
The possibility of resilience, reconciliation & peace is where red resists this darkness, emerging into a positive flow of love. Red speaks of love and power - a positive hope for humanity. Today, this work speaks to the Russian Ukrainian conflict.

The Paintings on Water series explores the natural world as a source of abstraction in art. I propose that abstract painting is not merely an act of unconscious imagination by an artist but rather the result of subconscious observations grounded in reality. These works are a visual expression of how the mind perceives and interprets the world. Using a modern tool—the digital camera—I have captured the unconscious abstractions found in nature. These images invite viewers to engage their own perceptions, contemplating what these organic forms and patterns represent.

The Red in Resilience
Part of The Painting On Water Series
Paintings On Water is composed of works that reflect on abstractions in nature as an art form.
I am of the opinion abstract painting is not an unconscious act of visualization by an artist. I believe it forms as the result of an artist's subconscious observation in reality and an abstract painting is the artist's manifestation of what their brain has perceived it sees.
The Paintings On Water series is based on capturing those unconscious abstractions in nature first, using a 21st Century medium - the digital camera - enabling the viewer to form their own perceptions of what these natural abstractions represent.
Background to Ralph Kerle's Art
Each work consists of abstractions found in reflections on the surface of water. The images are not photo-shopped or artificially created. They are images nature has created at a moment in time and exist in reality.. There is no right or wrong way to view the work. Each piece is designed for viewers to form their own meaning through the image's shape, colour and form. The works purpose is to encourage pleasurable aesthetic mediation and connection.
