The Gleaming Man is a conversation between the texts of Jeremy Fernando, the paintings of Ruben Pang, and the poems of Lim Lee Ching. Among other things, it is an attempt to meditate on the question of how different forms of work can speak with each other without speaking over or, even worse, speaking for an other.For, if art is the transformation of something that is brought forth through craft, through tekhne, into something else, it not only potentially lies beyond us, it might well also transform the one who looks at it. Thus, writing on art even if one thinks one is picking up a call from the work not only risks completely missing the point, but is quite possibly always already writing art itself.Thus, to write on art, one must open oneself to the possibility of the impossible.Which is precisely why Jeremy Fernando attempts to bring forth an impossible writing. And where alongside Lim Lee Chings poems keeping in mind Michel Deguys reminder that poetry is not about seeing the invisible, nor the very visible poetry instead is about seeing the slightly visible the texts attempt to open us to not just what can be seen in the paintings of Ruben Pang, but what shimmers there both within and always also slightly beyond seeing itself.But not just as words, in words but in its sound, its musicality.And when in reading, in seeing the paintings, the poems, the texts it is the reader who brings them all together, in an impromptu conversation, if only for a moment.
