Herbert Baglione can't seem to help himself from creating symmetry with his human forms...as if the world may spiral off its axis and float gently off into space like the balloon form in this piece...Many of Herbert's figures are connected by these dotted and dashed lines...the figures are holding onto the balloon with their vocalizations, sound made into visible form...music seems to play an important roll in this work...the rhythms and beats in the form of patter and sequence...the largest of these decorative elements, the circles and sun forms are beautifully geometric and colorful...scale wise, they have great importance to the piece and they exist asymmetrically with in the picture plane...these are sophisticated elements....Sometimes the figures take on this ghost like form, stationary and dangling...visually they are attached to and behind walls of pattern...the shape of this work is also alluring...an elongated rectangle...the way the forms flow up into the top of the visual chimney, feel right and certain...there is confidence in this work and its execution...the piece is a nice blend of complex values and bold colors...a balanced dialogue...
