Jon Cuyson’s “UNTITLED SOS” (Storm Season in Four Parts) ruminates over the uncertainty of our times and calls for the need of introspection. At the foreground of each work are two horizontal lines reminiscent of calming landscapes and of being parallel to the earth and serving as their backgrounds is a dividing line between a flat colored surface and another with evident random brush strokes. The backgrounds are suggestive of the polarity between the past and the present times in which we live in, while the build-up layers of acrylic paint of the horizontal bar lines denote the persistent will to reflect and stay steady on both moments.
