A sense of equilibrium in an artistic expression reflects a balance between opposing forces.
It is a condition uniting diverse and unexpected connections. Spontaneity and restraint, for example, produce outcomes in combination unlike those they produce alone. Light and shadow, density and sparseness, and contrasting tones and textures act in juxtaposition to create a unity of effect, whether serene or surreal, sensual or cerebral, vague, clear, or otherwise discernible.
Impressions of this nature represent a different order of seeing and listening, one that is simple yet not predictable, nor dulled by the frenetic and the mundane, but free of limits and barriers to a wider range of aesthetic experience.
