Painting “Not yet”, Indian ink and oil, animal and woman
People count with time from birth to
death and feel stuck in between, and that is a straight line.
Anton counts with mythological time, that is a circle which has its dimension
between birth and death, and his thoughts always move around this circle. He
never knows where he is, and so he does not know his age. His behavior is
according to that, one moment wise, another moment playful. It is not possible
to point to a fixed moment where he is. That is also the mystery which always
surprises us girls.
The “now” which is for normal man a peak of achievement he does not know. He
travels continually from cave-man to middle-ages, there where everything was
art, and is always on this road. The animal is the same. The woman his anima,
the deepest of his soul, from out primal beginnings, when everything was still
female, and everything was XX in chromosomes. The Y of the man crept in later,
and the text “not yet” means there is no time yet, and animal and woman are
still the same in their mind.
Anton is a zen-thinker en the highest in Zen is the nothing and the emptiness
and from out there he speaks his texts.
