Changes XV

How do color and form shape our awareness of space? This artwork investigates spatial dynamics through its bold application of color and geometric patterns. The ascending arrangement of purple ovals against a warm orange backdrop creates an impression of movement and depth. Each shape seems to rise from the base, signifying an expanding horizon. The texture and repetition prompt viewers into a distinct exploration of spatial relationships, inviting thoughts on order and chaos. This piece challenges our understanding of dimensionality and inspires considerations on how art can influence our perception of space and form.

Another piece of the Changes Series. There will be a total of 20 in the series with similar dimensions.

Change V: Continuing the Changes Series.

Part of the Changes Series. In this captivating piece, an enchanting cosmic spectacle unfolds across a field of deep purples and soft lavenders. The delicate circles seem to pulse and breathe, offering a display of celestial wonder. At first glance, tranquility envelops the viewer, yet the arrangement challenges initial perceptions. What appears as a soothing array of shapes may reveal something deeper upon closer inspection, hinting at the vastness of space and the intricacy of the unseen universe. The bold contrast of colors creates a memorable visual experience, inviting one to linger and explore the complexity woven into every detail. This artwork promises a blend of calm and curiosity, leaving a lasting impression.

Changes XIII: All Thy Waves And Thy Billows Are Gone Over Me.

In this captivating artwork, a subtle gradient of black and green circles evolves into a compelling field of blue, creating an intricate pattern reminiscent of cascading waves. Each dot appears deliberately placed, inviting the observer into a space where geometric precision meets organic fluidity. The lower section, with its meticulous swirl patterns, conveys a feeling of movement, suggesting the undulating nature of the ocean. This piece reflects the historical fascination with pointillism, where individual dots are masterfully arranged to form a cohesive narrative. Paying homage to both natural elements and artistic tradition, the artwork immerses the viewer in a thoughtful exploration of form and color.

Continuation of the Series "Changes" This piece has a subtitle of "All Thy Waves And All Thy Billows Are Gone Over Me. Inspired in part by Psalm 42 and Matthew 14.
Changes XIII All Thy Waves And Thy Billows Are Gone Over Me.

“Changes IX”

It was initially inspired by the observance of a utility van with a business signed pasted to the door. As I observed the sign I noticed that it had worn out with the original words and image faded. My mind was taken to the initial time when the sign had been placed on the vehicle and along with the dreams of the owner looking to fulfill them through his business. The condition of the sign was showing the wear of years of pushing to fulfill the goals, dreams and aspirations of self employment along with the freedom and also the responsibilities and burdens that it brings.

This train of thoughts took me to my own life situations and those that many of us passing through this amazing thing called life go through. With these thoughts I set out to work on a series of pieces that would express this concept of starting with dreams and either seeing them fulfill or come to naught.

Below is a short video showing the finished painting. Also here is a link to other finished similar pieces.

Are you blind that you can’t see the difference?

“Are you blind that you can’t see the difference?” “Estas ciego que no puedes ver la diferencia?”

This piece was inspired by an episode of Star Trek that I saw back in the 1970s. The episode is The Last Battlefield S3 #15.  It dealt with a planet in which the citizens had been at war with each other for thousands of years. The difference apparently was which side of the face was black and which was white.  This show left a lasting impression on me.  And here we are more than 50 years later and it seems that nothing has changed.  We as a nation seem to still be in conflict with each other and any new immigrants. 

The painting is trying to bring attention, as the show that inspired it to how much we are alike and deep down we are all looking and dreaming the same things.  Only superficial differences is what makes us feel we are different.
