Artwork Description

Today, science and technology are shaping a new modern world that challenges our understanding of what it means to be human. Much like the Futurists reflected a new Industrial age of movement and energy, my art work combines this idea with the universe’s interconnectedness, from the tiniest particles like quarks, gluons, and electrons to vast electromagnetic fields (oxidised-wave). It delves into concepts such as entanglement and wormholes, serving as a reflection of my creative process in three-dimensional space before it is fully unfolded to symbolise the impact of our current industrial era that is transforming the way we communicate information. From the tension of a curve to the presented comfort of a flat plane, it invites us on a transformative, nonlinear journey, encouraging deeper reflection and meditation on our observations.

Artist Bio

My curved 'canvases' are treated as three-dimensional objects. However, rather than approaching the relationship between solidity and space like a sculptor would, I aim to return to the "flat two-dimensional picture plane." Why is this important?

Nature loves curves. To connect as closely with nature as possible, since we are all part of the same energy, curves challenge us to move beyond linear thinking. This type of thinking often simplifies our daily decisions into straightforward cause-and-effect scenarios. In contrast, curves allow us to explore the ambiguity between the present and the future. The tension inherent in a curve, when juxtaposed with the comfort of a flat plane, invites us on a transformative, nonlinear journey. This journey encourages deeper reflection and meditation on our observations.

Since 2004, I've been evolving this aesthetic thought.
