Dark Palette, Mark Rothko at Pace Gallery
I have often wondered what it would be like to be surrounded by Rothkos.
In theory, I could have had the experience at the Four Seasons
Restaurant and now it is too late,
Pace Gallery's exhibition of
Rothko’s Dark Palette works gave me all that and more. What it is like
is, like walking into a Lenticular world, in permanent motion, where
everything is not as it seems. Any gesture, mental or physical, towards
or away from an object produces a shift in reality, so you end up
standing still and staring because that is all you can do without
falling over. Eventually hypnosis takes control and you succumb to
Rothko’s determination to take you into the mind’s eye, and thus to the
troubled soul and it is anyone’s guess as to how to emerge from this
state.
