“Saturnine Saturday IV” Watercolor and Ink, Saturn has frequently been used as a symbol of melancholy. “The Intellectual’s disease.” It is possible to know too much, to see too clearly, and to short-circuit the simple joy of just breathing. Saturn is the root word for “Saturnine” which describes a kind of slow gloomy approach to life.

From the quarantine Figure series. “Saturnine Saturday I” is a three-dimensional painting, mixed media on wood. I live on a golf course. When the golfers are not there at night golf courses can have a contemplative, even spiritual quality. The stars make my head swim and I feel both expansive and small. The three-dimensional paintings have a spontaneous quality. My daughter always says “Don’t leave anything in Dad’s studio or it will get stuck on a painting.”

From the quarantine Figure series. During the pandemic, people had time to contemplate themselves apart from the crowd. It was probably helpful for some people but also encouraged a kind of unhealthy self-obsession in some cases. Getting a phone call was special during the pandemic. It was a summons from the outside world a reminder of the small social joys that were unavailable.

During the Pandemic I took up the ukelele. Having no musical background at all it was an introduction to this whole world of joy I had no idea existed. I suspect many people tried new things during the great shutdown. In this woman’s face and the colors you can see joy and anxiety living side by side.

The material from which he creates his pigments is the unclaimed ashes of the dead that he collects from mortuaries. The result is his strangely beautiful and powerfully charged works of art that communicate solemn pieties and spiritual emotions. In several of the major works, Gilbert is able to express a certain ageless beauty like that of flowers at their moment of full bloom or of hands expressing a life force that is ebbing and grasping at the same time.
