"인생은 진동으로 특징지어진다. 떨림의 진동이 없으면 인생이 없다. 세상은 이 법칙을 따른다. 우리 개개인도 완전한 개체를 형성하며, 우리의 생체는 단일한 엔진에 의해 운영되며, 이 엔진의 정교함 정도가 우리가 진동할 수 있는 정도와 그에 따라 느낄 수 있는 정도를 결정한다."
- 2017, 블레어 서먼, 드림 아이디어 머신 (Dream Idea Machine)과의 대화 중
블레어 서먼(b.1961, 미국 뉴올리언스)의 작업은 미국의 다양한 문화적이고 상징적인 측면을 50 ~ 60년대를 주름잡았던 추상적이고 기학적인 예술들과 팝아트에 연결시킨다. 다양한 모양의 캔버스들은 모형 자동차와 다른 개인적인 이미지들을 수집하는 그의 열정에 영향을 받은 것으로, 회화인 동시에 조각으로 존재한다.
