gargantuan, the junk feeder

Only one can of baked beans left
with a mob charging the front door
               
Weil a Samuel Beckett

Left-bank Jean-Paul Sartre 

Existentialist, Communist;
'Les Chemins de la Liberte

'Sadistisch' Kitsch Bitch

Does the frenzied whip Gauleiter
take a twisted garter to bed ?

Chinese Whisper Terror

Incite a climate of touching
paranoia, to rule through fear

At The Basil Street Hotel 

They lived on peach avocado:
drank imperial bravado

In A Fallen Era

The line garden ran to nettle
and ivy leafing a statue

On Burning Marl

Drawn between heat and pavement
a sliver of soul was hell-bent

Project Coup TB Quote

German Invaders

Our Saxons loved die grene, die Walde
und die timbered haus; no Villa

Neo-Stalinist State

The rarest move fraught with danger
and they can almost hear you breathe

From A Satire By Juvenal

The Temple colonnades windy
but full of ladies of the night

Where is Agent Nikita?

She of the black leather jeans
and jacket, intent and blonde

Aimless In Croydon

Rounding away at the Golf Club
many a ball went out of sight

Euston Station Rebuild

A Chancellor flew to Peking
to be fed a lot of stuffed duck

Italian Virgin Mary

Taught the blue erotic contour
of a woman, holy mother!

Zabriskie Point

The free-loving counter-culture
against Vietnam, and Mad Men

Zabriskie Point 2

Flesh hammed against flesh, in the sand
her bronzed lithe beauty afire

===============================

Catholic Virgin Rapture

Sinewy tongue rounding his tongue,
her nipples erect in muslin

Failed Journey

She invited me to summer
at her condo in Biarritz

A Mortemart

Languor became her, and lazy
to a sly teasing; a fervour

quise de Montespan a Clagny

===========================                               

We are all closer
to Virgil and Horace
and his Odes than we are to the post-
literate snowflake
strangely postmodern and literal

Horace was born in B.C. 65 in Venusia,
a small town
in the Hellenised south-eastern
region of Italy. A villa quote:

Mitte sectari, rosa quo locorum
     Sera moretur

Cease your efforts, to find
where the last rose lingers


(The White House was founded in Rome
because Palladio had inspired Monticello)

Atque inter silvas Academi quaerere verum
And seek for truth in the garden of Academus

Non omnis moriar
                             I shall not die           

             Ut pictura poesis                      

by Horace: who loved his Falernian 
villa wine and the poetry of Sappho
as black-leathered Nikita
may have often done,
unzipping

                                 
                                                                     
 
                                                                                                        

Christopher Truman
has been evolving line art prints drawn using rotring rapidograph pens and black ink on Lana Mills cartridge paper since 1997.
Site images have been scanned from the off-white cartridge paper originals. They can be printed on flecked white oriental parchment. A group may use papers ranging from soft sepia to a sheer white.

His work may principally be seen as creating Zen narratives, loci or aids for meditation, a metaphysical 'storyboard' even. Finding a zen at Selinunte, Cathay can venn the neo-Platonic. In a group of prints, he mediates certain motifs in Vermeer; with another, creates a parallel parallel world to explore. A virtual infinity is quested.

Each group of six to nine prints as panels may be 'read' left to right, or, wall mounted, to the centre; or right-left. Rack-mounted, the running order may vary.


Christopher Truman
started his groups of prints with experimental Image Text arrays. The work now lives much in counterpoint to his poetry, reflective of many journeys.

     Staying on for a third year,
canary squares of wild marble
coming together, a butterfly,
the mimosa trembling

an even paler guest, in love
with a paradigm, japonica
returning in awe a ninth time
bent to clip a fresh
     honeysuckle cigarette. 

                                                           from  Wild Marble I
