Searching the World Wide Web for Golden Dawn, a Greek far-right party that did exceedingly well in yesterday’s elections, I was stunned to discover its emblem. It is one of my meander-like compositions from the Cave Art Now series painted a bit more than a decade ago. It fits my four-by-six grid perfectly. Indeed, it comes from the period when I was exploring the swastika, which fits perfectly the neo-Nazi origins of the Greek nationalist and anti-immigrant organization. At first I thought that the emblem had been stolen from me. A moment later I realized that it hailed from the same source as most of my compositions. They go back to the origin of geometric painting. The African origin of all painting, that is. They are thus everyone’s property, as I am fond of emphasizing whenever an opportunity arises. Pity the connection, though. But the party’s name is no less than prophetic nonetheless. Golden dawn revisited. If only it had any connection with contemporary art rather than politics at its worst.
