Blue Reincarnation Narcissus painting by JaisiniThe theme of Narcissus in Jaisini's "Blue..." may be paralleled with the problem of the
two-sexes-in-one, unable to reproduce and, therefore, destined to the Narcissus-like
end. Meanwhile, the Narcissus legend lasts. In the myth of Narcissus a youth gazes
into the pool. As the story goes, Narcissus came to the spring or the pool and when his
form was seen by him in the water, he drowned among the water nymphs because he
desired to make love to his own image. Maybe the new Narcissus, as in "Blue
Reincarnation," is destined to survive by simply changing his role from a passive man to
an aggressive woman and so on. To this can be added that, eventually, a man creates a
woman whom he loves out of himself or a woman creates a man and loves her own
image but in the male form. The theme of narcissism recreates the 'lost object of desire.
"Blue" also raises the problem of conflating ideal actual and the issue of the feminine
manhood and masculine femininity. There is another story about Narcissus' fall, which
said that he had a twin sister and they were exactly alike in appearance. Narcissus fell
in love with his sister and, when the girl died, would go to the spring finding some relief
for his love in imagining that he saw not his own reflection but the likeness of his sister.
"Blue" creates a remarkable and complex psychopathology of the lost, the desired, and
the imagined. Instead of the self, Narcissus loves and becomes a heterogeneous
sublimation of the self. Unlike the Roman paintings of Narcissus, which show him alone
with his reflection by the pool, the key dynamic in Jaisini's "Blue" is the circulation of
the legend that does not end and is reincarnated in transformation when autoeroticism
is not permanent and is not single by definition. In "Blue," we risk being lost in the
double reflection of a mirror and never being able to define on which side of the mirror
Narcissus is. The picture's color is not a true color of spring water. This kind of color is
a perception of a deep-seated human belief in the concept of eternity, the rich saturated
cobalt blue. The ultra hot, hyperreal red color of the figure of Narcissus is not supposed
to be balanced in the milieu of the radical blue. Jaisini realizes the harmony in the most
exotic color combination. While looking at "Blue," we can recall the spectacular color of
night sky deranged by a vision of some fierce fireball. The disturbance of colors creates
some powerful and awe-inspiring beauty. In the picture's background, we find the
animals' silhouettes, which could be a memory reflection or dream fragments. In the
story, Narcissus has been hunting - an activity that was itself a figure for sexual desire
in antiquity. Captivated by his own beauty, the hunter sheds a radiance that, one
presumes, reflects to haunt and foster his desire. The flaming color of the picture's
Narcissus alludes to the erotic implications of the story and its unresolved problem of
the one who desires himself and is trapped in the erotic delirium. The concept can be
applied to an ontological difference between the artist's imitations and their objects. In
effect, Jaisini's Narcissus could epitomize artistic aspiration to control levels of reality
and imagination, to align the competition of art and life, of image with imaginable
prototype. Jaisini's "Blue" is a unique work that adjoins reflection to reality without any
instrumentality. "Blue" is a single composition that depicts the reality and its immediate
reflection. Jaisini builds the dynamics of desire between Narcissus and his reflection-of-
the-opposite by giving him the signs of both sexes, but not for the purpose of creating a
hermaphrodite. The case of multiple deceptions in "Blue" seems to be vital to the cycle
of desire. Somehow it reminds one of the fates of the artists and their desperate
attempts to evoke and invent the nonexistent. "Blue" is a completely alien picture to
Jaisini's "Reincarnation" series. The pictures of this series are painted on a plain ground
of canvas that produces the effect of free space filled with air. "Blue," to the contrary, is
reminiscent of an underwater lack of air; the symbolism of this picture's texture and
color contributes to the mirage of reincarnation.

You just have to read this book to believe what people could come up with commenting on the artwork of Paul Jaisini. You would be able to see how people manipulate opinion, satisfy own egos, attempt to antagonize not the subject at hand, not the description of the painting, but the quality of the artist's work they never had a chance to see. You could probably use a few good laughs and I guarantee that you'll get more than just a few from this book, unusual, never written before. First of its kind. (190 pages)

It's challenging, exciting, and a whole lot more. What if invisible painting was real?

Art finally enters new unknown dimension and the book about it keeps someone in suspense, while someone is inspired to break through the barriers of unknown, and someone craving for more of the mysterious puzzles of Jaisini.

» gleitzeit - Jaisini "Marble Lady"
Jaisini "Marble Lady"Marble Woman, The Notorious Marble Lady, My Marble Lady, Lady Known as Marble, the So-Called Marble Lady, etc.
Art in the twentieth century has been awarded the highest esteem as something we should admire and respect and I found a lot of evidence of the truthfulness of such thought. I emailed my essay called "Marble Lady" on Paul Jaisini’s oil painting with the same title in frequency of 500-1000 emails a day with a limited impact in consideration to the vast amount of Internet subscribers.
What I have found was an unprecedented response from the recipients, the readers who were intrigued and even entrapped by this sort of a psychological game, trying to decipher the meaning of the message, it’s content, how it relates to them personally, who is the messenger, why was it sent to them and why they were targeted to such atypical advertisement.
I did not expect such amount of feedback, which kept me busy for months. It also was a degree of obligation to continue as the action had caught public’s interest. This art mission grew into a sort of conceptual art when I am describing an oil painting authored by Jaisini without providing any visual information.
It seems to me that this was one of the reasons for creation of fancy about the given art work that was named by readers in many special ways as The Marble Lady, Marble Woman, The Notorious Marble Lady, My marble lady, lady Known as Marble, the so-called marble lady, Marble Statue and so forth.
It is some sort of phenomenon of the essay hitting unexpectedly PC users, as some preserved, sacred message, which is not revealed but represented as an idea and mysterious message from ‘above.’
I didn’t intend to engage in conceptual art activity, but it happened without my insinuation. People had started the dialogue that can only be called interaction. I was asked for explanation. A work of art normally behaves as if it’s a visual statement. This is a sculpture of Thinker by Rodin or this is a portrait of Mona Lisa. The viewer may ask, who was this Mona Lisa and why did she become so precious. But these questions follow on from an acceptance of the visual object.
In my case, there was no visual object offered for review, but an essay as ipso facto. And the visualization was up to the reader. I offered the description as representation, which seems a tautology and the chain of description was further elaborated by each reader in his degree of potential and "Marble lady" was "Marble lady" was "marble lady" ed infinitum.
The response could also be believed as nervous breakdown characteristic of contemporary people who have lost faith in any offered commodity, nor in art claimed to be, neither in social institution.
The connection of image with effective action on viewers is disturbed. People seem to prefer a legend. The formalistic presentation can no longer explain life in our rapidly changing world. To the opposite of a true conceptual art which was a violent reaction against modernist notions of progress, this new action was populist and not against an art object status, but for creation of an aura of legend and good reception.
This action thus is purely aesthetic without discrimination of the recipients. I have received responses ranging from teen-agers to retired journalists. The romantic, poetic message reached throughout the cyber space with little effort in professionalism of presentation, but with a strong power of personal correspondence.
The reader can find in the essay the artistic representation with no political or apolitical aspiration. The conceptuality of this action is even more paradoxical as in respects of certain degree of privacy’s intrusion.
With emailing an art essay I was trying to impose art on non-wanting receptors unlike the denial of Conceptual art and it’s opposition towards art tradition.
The reception of the message "Marble Lady" turned to be the best. It may be the method of this everyday nature that prefigured good reception of the one who got the mail in the box. If he reads an art essay in a snobby art magazine written with the same artsy words, it would not reach him.
Instead of usual commercial offers the Internet user receives the poetic message that he’d love to think has come from some one he knows personally, or a secret admirer. The expectation here is exaggerated and he thinks more of the essay than it is realistically. He sees it through the rosy glasses of sensual willingness. This may be the highest point of a fusing the life of the home, office, classroom with the hermetic life of the art studio, by the help of informative mediator.
The essay sneaked onto the recipient without any commercial tyranny as personal letter. The reader chooses to open and read it.
The reason of course is the title "Marble Lady." Naming the essay with the painting’s title "Marble Lady" I tried to put the painting at the service of the mind. Duchamp rejected no painting per se, but stupid painting. I found a chance for critical research in works of Paul Jaisini, which allow me to think in words and images. Jaisini’s paintings are smart enough to teach, to reconstruct the mind and start up a new art concept.
The written essay cannot substitute the visual image and by no definition can be called an independent work of art, but its art’s aura. It didn’t intend to create a debate, but ultimately did, the aura is important in the pleasurable straight reception of visual art work by people.
