"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.

About the Urban Reflections Collection

Urban Reflections captures the unexpected poetry found in the built environment — moments where glass, metal, shadow and movement distort the city into something abstract, contemplative and beautifully unfamiliar. These works transform architecture into living geometry, revealing the emotional undercurrents of modern life through colour, pattern and reflection. Each piece invites the viewer to slow down, look deeper, and discover the hidden rhythms within the structures that shape our world.

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.
