A Split Horizon Painting

A uniquely shaped painting in a beautiful custom-made frame. Created for an invitational exhibition "ORNAMENT IS". This is a work of art that is also a unique interior design piece. This piece reflects the worldview which is as following: the linearity of space and time is a convenient illusion. This assumed linearity is an easy way for humans to understand each other quickly and to avoid multiple meanings of each environment, event, and situation. However, the universe is more complex and stranger. The painting is structured out of 3 parts that progress from left to right (like Western writing). It starts with trees and leaves reflected in a body of water. Then the line between land and water splits, space turns dense, and fantastic images appear. Here the ornament rules. Since ornament is not a bare necessity, but rather one of the ways we play and dream and create rhythm and beauty. The last part is minimal and geometrical. Simplicity and bare bones of structure, the opposite of confusion, the balance. The whole piece is shaped as a semi-trapeze to allow the underlying energy to spill. This trapeze is created by cutting and flipping top right corner of the rectangle, to attach it to the bottom right (just a bit of Geometry). The overall structure is an equivalent of a musical composition.
