M Collier's Art (Continue)




















Collier’s today’s blend is so homogeneous that sometimes it is difficult to discern any clear stylistic affiliation. The painter created a style that defies categorization-both a unique adaptation and a category of its own. Indeed, at some point it may seem that the artist may finally settle for any of the relevant trends-realism, hyper-realism or even impressionism, at the stage when light effects enjoy a particular emphasis. For an outside observer that expectation alone is highly stimulating. Ultimately, however, one learns that waiting for a definitive outcome is counterproductive-but more amazing is the fact that that only serves to increase the suspense. Is the artist playing some kind of a highly elaborate visual game? In my newly assumed role as a detective, I tend to say “yes” without a self-reproach of paranoia.
