description: Although innumerable stylistics experimentations have le3d E.J. Gold in many directions over the years, it is the use of gesture that has become his trademark. Gold has produced thousands of gestural images with the ease of a magician, asserting himself as a master of atmospheres and moods. The drawings presented in 'Pure Gesture' are the culmination of years of aesthetic exploration.These works have a profound spiritual basis. Like the artof sumi-e and of much abstract expressionism, they posit the existence of higher dimensions which they translate into visual forms which evoke subtle moods. Or, they may compel a realization in us that we have just changed reality structure, that we are sitting in a higher dimension and viewing from there.In correspondence with the gestural aspect of Gold's work, the text is multi-faceted. Editorial commentaries accompany each group of images. Quotes from the artist also enable us to glimpse his own thoughts about his work, influences, direction and the process of artistic creation in general. A further series of quotes from artists, collectors, connoisseurs, art dealers and friends offers yet another point of view on the nature and impact of his art.
