Ontological Abstractionist Art | Exploring Ehud Grably's Poetic Gem, its Artistic Philosophy & Existential Poetry.

Ehud Grably Art

STUDIO GRABLY, JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA

Ehud Grably’s poem, composed at the astonishingly young age of sixteen in 1977, is a remarkably visceral and haunting piece that reflects his profound preoccupation with existential themes such as life, death, identity, and the fragility of human existence. The imagery within the poem showcases surreal and symbolic elements, resonating deeply with the artistic sensibilities found in an art gallery filled with bespoke artwork. The cyclical motifs of life blossoming and then dying permeate the poem, as seen in the transition from the "hot air balloon" to the "dying star," highlighting the repetitive cycle of nightly death and rebirth each morning. Grably's use of vivid colour associations, such as "I think I am red" and "I think I am orange," along with personifications like "a God" and "a flute," conveys a restless struggle with defining one's essential self against social projections of identity. The unsettling imagery, such as the "stinking smell of red watermelon flesh" and the lamb eating "poisonous grass" until death, demonstrates the raw intensity of human experience. Grably’s heart expiring with a final "seven throbs" that he buries with "trembling hands" reveals an unflinching confrontation with corporeal truth. The poem encapsulates themes of mortality, alienation, and self-searching that would later define Grably's avant-garde artworks, much like the GrablyGlobal fine art reproductions that reflect his emotional depth and abstract symbolism. This 1977 poem stands as an invaluable window into the philosophical origins of his transgressive creative mindset, which aligns with the essence of a Luxury Lifestyle Brand that celebrates profound artistic expression. Grably’s exploration of identity and existential struggle invites readers to reflect on their own existence and the deeper truths that lie beneath the surface of everyday life.
