SIGN OF THE TIMES The paint is made in the author's technique of painting by Vasili Zianko based acrylic painting on canvas using a variety of textures, washes, the finest glazing, volumetric contours. The art-work is readable for blind and visually impaired people by touch. The painting metaphorically depicts Ouroboros wheel - a curled snake biting its tail. Ouroboros is a symbol of eternity and infinity, especially of cyclic nature life, alternation of creation and destruction, life and death, constant rebirth and death, the movement of space. My end is my beginning. In many myths, Ouroboros embraces the whole world and identified with the circular flow of waters surrounding the earth. It maintains the world and its existence, and at the same time, it brings death into life, and life into death. Unmoving in appearance, Ouroboros personifies perpetual motion, always returning to oneself. In Orphic cosmology, Ouroboros embraces the Cosmic Egg...

Arao’s geometric sewn fabric paintings reference woven textiles and ethnic patterns from the Philippines, reinterpreted in kaleidoscopic fabric compositions. Fabric, a material that seemingly begs for human touch, is something we all have a level of familiarity with. Whether it is clothing worn or removed from the body, commercially bought, hand dyed, or recycled weathered canvas, Arao harnesses the tactility and multiple interpretations of fabric, often alluding to its central relationship to the human body. Precisely sewn together into tapestry-like wall works, Arao’s background in painting is evident in his mastery of color and composition. Paired with his conceptual link to his identity as a gay Filipino-American, Arao’s works simultaneously reach back through history and into the future as powerful symbols of representation and beauty. Gathered from disparate sources, carrying the psychic or physical traces of the hands that manufactured or the bodies that wore the textiles used in his fabric paintings, there is a legacy of nuance woven into the fibers of each work. Written into each color choice, use of various types of fabric, and overall composition, is a steadfast trust in process and faith in intuition. Regarding this body of work, Arao states, “ In my sewn paintings, the stability of geometric forms is disrupted through the use of altered patterns and asymmetry, creating a space that’s dynamic and shifting – much like the concept of queerness itself.” Flexible, open-ended, and bounding with vibrant color, Paolo Arao...
