Epigenetics #2 Painting

All Things Bright and Beautiful - Epigenetics #1, 2 and 3. These artworks are simple representations of the changes and movement that happen in our brains when we consume substances that affect our dopamine levels. This loose form is taken from a photograph of the brain cells. In this work, color is used as a means to express vitality, purity - a brain that has not been subjected to opiates, alcohol or sugar. This is the first of three paintings that depict three stages - first vitality, second the fun of it all; psychedelic experiences and thirdly the blurring and dimming of our senses, our self, and our vitality through continued substance abuse. The square format for me signifies containment, logic structure. I loved Kandinsky's view that color could be whatever you felt appropriate for what it is you want to express, akin to kinesthetics. Thin layers of oil paint carefully blended are intended to give the work a luminescence. Stretched canvas on a wooden frame with a hanging wire attached. The work is varnished.
