One  new   thought   is  worth  a  hundred  years  of  scholarship  –  because   it  yields  a  

hundred  more.Thinking  outside  the  box  offers  possibilities  of  new  thought  and  with  it  

a  meritorious  opportunity  to  declare  -  ‘my  world  is  not  flat’.  Usually  taken  for  granted  

is  the  risk  involved  in  perquisition  of  the  new.  This  search  is  a  journey  that  can  lead  

to  space  where  the  prolonged  surrender  of  moral  institution  and  perceived  safety  is  

necessary.  However,  even  with  this  unabated  offering  the  instance  is  a  glimmer,  and

its  acquisition  remains  as  difficult  as  attempting  to  toast  the  tip  of  a  humming  bird’s  

wing.   My   journeys   to   this   space   unearthed   a   troubling   introspective.   Between  

courting  the  unknown,  threading  the  fringe  and  my  affair  with  heresy  –  I  imbibed  an  

acrid  cocktail  of  ironies  that  was  chased  with  two  humbling  truths:

-  The  quest  for  enlightenment  results  in  the  tightest  constraints.

-  There  is  no  outside  the  box  -  only  migration  to  another  one.

RICHARD TUDOR

DCFA VISUAL ARTS EXHIBITION | FINE ART | 2013

My  name  is  Richard  Dominique  Tudor.    I  am  a  practising  Visual  Artist  and  a  teacher  at  the  Guayaguayare  Secondary  School.  I’ve  been  studying  at  the  University  for  the  past  seven  years  where  I  have  successfully  completed  the  Certificate  Programme,  and  am  on  the  verge  of  completing  the  BA.  in  Visual  Arts.  My  heartfelt  passion  for  creating  has  led  me  onto  a  path  of  enlightenment.  I  specialize  in  capturing  gestures  of  the  human  form  either  in  motion  or  at  rest,  paying  a  keen  attention  to  the  energy  generated   in   the  movement  and  intensity  of   the   line  used.  The  pieces  which  are  

showcased   present   an   experience   entitled   “Energy   in   Motion”   or   its   symbolic  abbreviation,  “E-Motion”,  I  manipulated  a  familiar  media  (that  of  acrylic  paint  upon  canvas)  to  express  moods  felt,  as  I  have  transcended  through  time  which  allowed  me  to  become  the  man  that  I  am  today.  Linear  expressions  through  various  contem-porary  painting  approaches  aid  in  my  abstracted  translation  of  the  human  portrait.  Allow  me   to   engage   and   stimulate   your   intellect   as   you   journey   into   the   optical  aesthetic.
