Description
METAPHORIC PLASMATIC
Leo Labelle's "Metaphoric Plasmatic" is a striking example of biomorphic abstraction, where organic fluidity meets symbolic complexity. The composition pulses with life, evoking a visual metaphor of cellular or emotional activity on a magnified, dreamlike scale. The composition is dominated by fluid, plasmatic forms—translucent, layered, and bordered with ripple-like contours. It creates the sensation of viewing something alive, moving under a microscope or through an altered state of perception. Circular motifs and nucleus-like forms float within this fluid, some with eyes or eye-like shapes, reinforcing the idea of semi-sentient, evolving entities. Vivid reds, rich ochre, and deep blacks contrast against lighter blues, pinks, and whites. This tension between biological warmth and cosmic coldness may represent a clash—or harmony—between emotion and intellect. The dotted lines (blue, white, and black) serve as pathways or energetic streams, as if charting unseen connections or flows through the “plasmatic" matter.
The title “Metaphoric Plasmatic" invites reflection on the transformation of intangible feelings or ideas (metaphors) into quasi-physical, visual substances (plasma). It's as if emotions or thoughts have been made bodily—raw, evolving, and barely containable.
