Time for Poetics in the Pub ~ Sanaa hosts and introduces us to artist John Grimshaw. She shares that Grimshaw uses a defined visual language in his work. His focus is on solitude, darkness, beauty, light. His darkness is seductive. Figures rarely dominate. Landscape has the greater power. I find his work fascinating.
Silvery Moonlight [public domain]
moonlight reflects amber
onto damp cobblestone
bleeding her shadow
into dark wetness ..
nothing more than a form
dissolving into rusty mist
hidden from the waking city
as fleeting as the fog
