Untitled 

Lothar Charoux created this untitled work using lines and color. Observe how the lines form angular shapes, resonating with ancient symbols of orientation and direction. For centuries, cultures have used the cardinal directions to create a sense of order, the imposition of geometry onto the world. Think of the Roman grid system of city-building, or the indigenous American medicine wheel. Here, the shapes remind us of the compass rose, an echo of navigation and charting unknown territories. In a psychological reading, the lines embody the human need to define space and place, to map our existence, and to assert control over our environment. These forms are not static, but are pathways, a journey. The colours, too, have their own language, evoking emotional and psychological responses, as a silent conversation unfolds between viewer and artwork. This visual encoding connects us to a shared, subconscious understanding that transcends time.
