EINSTEIN : Illusory Visual Spread Painting

Mick Start - Born in Hertfordshire, England. Self taught Artist Working predominantly with oil paint and multi media to create unique one of a kind art works. I create artwork, which is unusual and unique. I have two principle themes in my work which are: illusory visual spread- a sequence of repetitive coloured squares that are used to create what I had previously seen in an altered state of consciousness and sculpture paintings using multimedia. I work based on the theory that this reality is a simulation - a computerised virtual reality. Theoretical Physicist John Archibald Wheeler quoted : The universe could not exist without us, we are part of an ongoing process, the universe isn't finished yet, it is continually being built. we are continually adding to the universe and we are doing it through consciousness. We live in a participatory universe that continues to ' build itself. ' When creating the sculpture there is no initial concept of the final composition. Addiing modeled shapes to the sculpture is a slow process taking between 18 months to 30 months. I would say the sculpture sort of builds itself., I am creating a new reality by adding information to the simulation, creating something unusual .
