Here anonymous individuals search for enlightenment and march to punishments for crimes unknown before a netherworld of judges. With religious solemnity seers convene in conference to discuss the metaphysics of the soul, degrees of warm oranges at play to distinguish the level of their passion. Cinat uses contrasts in shadow and light to rich effect, the resulting tales suggestive of the subconscious. These arenas recall nighgtmarish tableaus of El Greco, yet with a subtlety and ambiguity more indicative of the mystery of cathedrals." Douglas Singleton, Critic |
