Entanglement 53 (turns out he held a little back) Painting by Blake Brasher

Painting: Watercolor, ink on Paper.

This is number 53 in a painting series I've been working on this summer. The name "Entanglement" suggests an interconnectedness, like a tangle of knots. It's also a principle in quantum physics. Two particles are said to be entangled when they originate from the same source and altering the properties of one produces observable change in the other. I think it's an apt name for the series because a recurring compositional element throughout the series is a tangle of lines intersecting each other, and also because what happens in one painting directly influences the next.

"Entanglement 53" is painted with watercolor and ink on paper. Some of the inks have an iridescent quality to them that doesn't quite come through in the photograph. Many of the fractal like geometries are achieved by applying ink to the paper directly with the dropper while the watercolor is still drying. This pulls the ink into the watercolor and creates patterns not unlike mountain streams seen from far above.

This painting is framed in a Blick Essentials 16 x 20" real wood frame with a natural finish and a neutral grey mat. It will be shipped in a FedEx medium framed art box.
