Symmetry I Drawing

The portraits in the works are from two men whom have known each other for almost all their lives. They are however in many ways opposites, both in visual appearance and in their character. One could say they represent an opposite symmetry. Concepts like these are very common in solid state physics, the study of rigid matter, or solids, through methods such as quantum mechanics, crystallography, electromagnetism, and metallurgy. Physics and it’s relation to our being, our emotions, plays a big part in the work of the artist. Rather than becoming something ‘scientific’ this opens up a visual world of our hidden layers of our desires, our pain and our cry for being loved. For this piece the artist studied patterns of the Fibonacci crystal or quasicrystal and used parts of this pattern in the drawing to juxtapose the characters of the two men. The pattern binds them in symmetry. The work is a drawing diptych, it consists of 2 parts: Symmetry I and Symmetry II. Both works are coloured pencil drawings on Arches 300grms paper 114cm x 114 cm in size. Physics and it’s relation to our being, our emotions, plays a big part in my work. Rather than this becoming something ‘scientific’, I want to open up a visual world of our hidden layers of our desires, our pain and our cry for being loved.
