Ptolemy For Sale

New work from Ptolemy Bognor-Regis III

by

Untitled (Two hours stuck on a plane at Gatwick with no air-conditioning)

A good example of the well-known dictum suffering makes great art. Poor Ptolemy created this work as he sat, roasting, in a plane that had a problem with its engine. The mental anguish of flying in a machine that you have been told doesn’t work properly – how well he has captured that emotion in this piece. The colors zing and zang off each other, the central orange bespeaking the overwhelming question, viz, should I stand up and insist to be allowed off this plane. Mirrored by the lightest of greens, the universal symbol for Yes.

Brave Ptolemy stayed on the plane. The good news is they made it unscathed to Paris. That’s not as good as it sounds as they were supposed to be going to Casablanca, but out of the turmoil we have gained a modern masterpiece. Ptolemy we salute you, and – though you have sworn never to travel by plane again – we hope you make it back from Paris soon.

What a fire cracker of a work! Ptolemy hits it out of the All-England Club once again with his meditation on existence and grass. “July is when I watch more tennis than any other time of the year. Of course I am primed to make art about the daily assault of grass on my eyes. The way it dies over the length of the tournament, it is heart-breaking, yet we must struggle on. In my work the grass never dies, it fights on, showing us the path and leading the way. Onward!”

Ptolemy is the only abstract artist I ever look at. Any other abstract artist is just a waste of eyeball energy.

Ptolemy new canvas – An accident at Berkeley Square

by

A canvas by Ptolemy created after he witnessed an accident in Berkeley Square between a taxi and a young woman. Luckily she walked away, the contents of her handbag strewn across the road. Ptolemy represents the fear, the surprise, the empathy in the searing lines of colour that cross the canvas.

An art critic writes…

Simply stunning. Unlike Gareth Southgate, with Accident in Berkeley Square Ptolemy has produced a winner. Personally this work speaks to me more than the Mona Lisa or any of those other renaissance works. Ptolemy is a modern day Michelangelo, anyone who disagrees needs to see a doctor for the head.

Ptolemy – The sadness of Abstract Art

by

Yellow, the universal colour of melancholy since Goethe and Zola, imbues this canvas with a sense of deep alarm and overwrought anxiety. How does Ptolemy keep producing such winsome works? The blotches of greyed-green add an almost regal quality to the ensemble, reminiscent of works by such luminaries as Stubbs, Wilkins-Butt and R.E. Walton.
“In this work I tried to show the loneliness inherent in the abstract milieu. I hope it comes over in the image just how much abstract artists fight daily to bring their masterpieces to the public.”

With sublime shapes like lakes in a desert and excitement exuberating from the artwork’s every pore, it surely won’t be long until thousands of children are christened Ptolemy in his honour.

“Feeling like a Marinara pizza, but they don’t sell it” – new abstract art

by

What a work! Ptolemy hits it out of the park again, with Feeling like a Marinara pizza, but they don’t sell it. What colors! What size! What a message of peace and love – for the pizza talk is obviously a distraction from his real meaning. Surely what is before us is actually a proto-flag? More than that, a British ensign or an American Stars and Stripes without stripes. Or stars. More than that, the purple of power infuses the rising sense of dread…that off-black line, I can’t look at it without feeling that Ptolemy is ahead of realpolitik, of even politic – he provides us with answers to questions the world is asking with bombs and bullets. I cry out to world leaders, listen to Ptolemy!
