Her Affect On Branches (Topography of Contact)

Ernest Caivano's meticulously detailed ink drawings depicts a strange mixture of beautiful birds and flowers, figurative forms of trees and people, abstract squares and cubes, and fragments of lines scattered. "A syncretist amalgam of folklore, fairytale, and scientific speculation, Caivano's narrative serves as a search for meaning lost inour won abundance of information" (Joao Ribas) Ernest Caivano seems to overlap the geometric theory for scientifically analyzing the structure of the universe and our imagination to decipher narrative, adopting the classic analogy method. The imaginative bird named by Caivano "philapore" blends with the stubs and the flower petals, and its feather into an abstract pattern creating an independent rhythm to the drawing's composition.
