Nearly Opposite (chiaroscuro)

all there is in painting is form

all that matters in painting is content

all there is in painting is surface

all that matters in painting is space

all there is in painting is personal

all that matters in painting is universal

all there is in painting is presentation

all that matters in painting is representation

all there is in painting is contrast

all that matters in painting is accord

all there is in painting is complexity

all that matters in painting is contradiction

all there is in painting is stillness

all that matters in painting is movement

all there is in painting is past

all that matters in painting is present
