Justin Oglivie: Radiance

Justin Oglivie... Envelop III (2006, coloured pencil, pastel and oil on canvas). From the exhibition Justin Oglivie: Radiance, November 2 - 25, 2006 at the Diane Farris Gallery. "...Justin Ogilvie’s eagerly-awaited new work continues to explore what he describes as the 'boundaries of self' – those physical margins where our bodies meet infinite space and begin their engagement with the social sphere.
Radiance examines the phenomenology of experience, particularly the relationship of the physical body to mind and consciousness. Ogilvie is engrossed in the writings of philosophers like Edmund Husserl, who theorized about human perception, time consciousness and our memory for imagery."
