[About the exhibit – by Diana Chioreanu]
Warren Laine saw the warm chocolate sublimating in the bowl as the led transmutation in the earth oven. And practiced it as upheaval.
He resembles an uncanny alchemist who has detected the intrinsic life in the metamorphic contortions of a very familiar commodity: chocolate. Ordinarily regarded as snack, desert, alimentary caprice, chocolate displays in fact a majestic history and great chemical potency, as well as a strong discursive charisma within an exhibition setting.
With intense treatment, this non-linear material can capture ineffable moments of that ever-changing semiotic dance. On its way from commodity to artifact, chocolate turns into a poetic flow of de-familiarized identities: spasm, birth, rupture, monolithic silence, pleasure, flesh, doubt.
“Chocolate changes over time; the color and texture softens. It is an extension of the original work and expresses even more the dilemma of meaning.“
The vision in chocolate is rooted in the western industrial production of merchandise and breaks outside of it to cast a creative murmur beyond automatism, consumerism and nomenclature.
Laine’s pieces are crude, blunt, non-ornamental. They approach archetypal symbols of piety and anxiety. The lack of embellishment is a conceptualistic response to the gaudy spectacle of mercantile politics and advertisement. In contrast, they bleach out the historical and social muddle. The use of texture, geometry and rhythm is crucial, as it celebrates the unexpected architectural triumph of a subversive medium. Pariah elements such as metal, wood and glass have been imported into the chocolate molds to give out a coarse figuration of feminine soil matrices, thttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifoxic stony deities and post-gender homunculi.
Chocolate as art immortalizes the hyper-real moment when the decision to be has not yet been made and anything is possible... do relish this moment of suspension …No more words.
