geographical /pyschedelic?

while this work is more geographical. there us undeniably psychedelic imprints.
- imprint= that which exist in the mind via experiences (multi sense's created my present perception,allowing the viewer to reflect via abstractions).

researching into shamanism, the role of the painter as the shaman, or the voyageur whom allows
the viewer of such works to reflect.

do i, as a painter , want to claim this title of shaman?
do i, have the ego.Is ego intended?
titles are words which i feel can never be true to ------> ?
neither do i want to compare, but search 4 other painters, for an outsider's viewpoint via any connection the work.(have with the artist or)
i was asked to submit a reseaoning for the paintings im submitting for end of year assessment, asked to look into my community contemporary s, to claim my place with my work in this present environment, IE-n - my environment is different/(altered?) to yours. the later is (a)my broad definition on the subject , relating my life into my work for others to connect to.?(this is the jist of of it.

Contemporary artists a natrurally submerged in what is roughly termed abstraction or ab-expressionist methodology?. what is it that is different to the way in which we today approach a canvas to the earlier masters, ie, Stlj, Pollock, Rothko etc?

are4 they not Human like us, feeling, pain, love, good hate, envy, etc..The human condition what is so capturing about it, the German expressionist concentrated on it long ago. what does it still linger? whats new? how has this changed?

are artist exploring this in different ways, causing what some call a regurgitation?

Fences will always arrive through out history, its proved it omnipresent's, and so we find ways of jumping these fences,

i am like others i feel lost in this voyage of identity, crammed full of history never letting up as time goes on.
