The Void​​

In this series of oil paintings I am exploring the Cosmos by reflecting on our collective place within it. 

The black table represents the void of space and all of it's unknowable secrets. The still-life objects are curated to invoke symbols of Earth and Humanity. Much like the objects on the table, we too, exist as a tableau-vivant supported by the timeless black abyss of infinite space. 

 

The under-developed style of the background symbolizes entropy and the struggle between order and chaos. An unfocused geometry can be seen within monochromatic patterns; this represents the mathematical force that connects all things through physics and a united spectrum. The suspended landscapes that appear as a mirage are gentle reminders that all things are interconnected.

 

The Universe continues to support us all, despite the chaos and confusion of daily life. We exist to appreciate it.

 

After all 'universe' simply means, One-Turn. What will you do with your One-Turn?
