Recently, I began reading news releases about the discoveries astronomers had made using a network of telescopes, which are able to focus on objects much more distant than was previously possible. The concept of Black Holes was only a theory, but suddenly there were amazing photographs of the Event Horizons of Black Holes that made them visible. I wanted to create my own abstract interpretation of the phenomena that I had been hearing about. The act of painting helps me to see the world in a new way. I can say things with paint that I cannot otherwise imagine. (Interview with Gwen Cates, Los Angeles Post-Examiner October 30, 2019, Jacob Maslow; https://tinyurl.com/2p95bm8x) The gilded gold algae rings the tiny white star at the center decorating the explosion of color that radiates from the center with its organic forms. Are the familiar red spiky balls of the coronavirus symbols falling into the white dot within the black hole while the golden organic forms fly outward? Through this painting the viewer might find and symbolize that desire with them. But the dynamic energy expressed in color and forms is unmistakable.
