Chaos Theories - Black Water Painting

Black Water is a bold and bright one examining how ideas can be exploited. Although the initial concept was more science-based the underlying message is broader. In many ways the imagery is a homage to 1950/60s scif-fi art, taking the graphic element of an atom and then splicing it with billiard balls. Using a ‘Magic 8 Ball’ iconography amplifies the notion of chance especially when dealing in the advancement of discovery. The title is a loose reference to Heavy Water used in the production of nuclear power and weapons. Welcome to Chaos Theories. A collection of thought-provoking works delving into the how, what, why and where of 21st century living. In this series the titles are of equal importance as the imagery and deliberately paired to invoke deeper contemplation. On the surface is often a singular representation although further examination and thought are encouraged. Are the paintings deep and complex visual essays on humanity or something far simpler? – you decide. Painted with archival acrylic paints and finished with gloss varnish for surface protection.
