Infinity’s Call– Coming to West End Gallery
Let man reawake and consider what he is compared with the reality of things; regard himself lost in this remote corner of Nature; and from the tiny cell where he lodges, to wit the Universe, weigh at their true worth earth, kingdoms, towns, himself. What is a man face to face with infinity?
–Blaise Pascal, Pensées (1670)
The painting at the top is one of the first pieces I am sharing from my upcoming show, Persistent Rhythm, which opens Friday, July 19 at the West End Gallery. This painting, a large one that is 20″ by 60″ on canvas, is titled Infinity’s Call.
The theme for this show at the West End Gallery is about trying to capture the rhythm and movement of the perceived landscape which, in my mind, is a physical representation of the rhythm and flow of the infinite.
You know what? It’s 5:30 in the morning and I am not even going to try to explain that last sentence.
You figure it out, okay? And if you do, let me know. I am always looking for an answer or explanation. But please show your work. No guessing.
Pascal might have hit it on the nose with the passage at the top from his Pensees.
We are small potatoes in a vast garden. Even so, we wish to be acknowledged as even a tiny part of the bigger picture.
To have our barbaric yawp go out into the universe…
