This large-format painting deals with time and space similar to Snap. However, in the center of this composition I devised a static image of separated, offset, angled forms which are designed to interlock or adjoin, yet they are visually frozen at a moment in time between present, past, and future "adjoining" scenarios. The offset, separated forms visually address the dualistic issues of integration and disintegration within the realms of space and time.
Formally, the separated interlocking forms diagonally bisect the composition from the lower left to the upper right. That bias is crossed perpendicularly by the yellow ocher colored passage which extends from the lower right to the top center area of the composition. The latter mentioned subdivision of the composition distinguishes the cubist/constructivist realm of the right side of the composition from the naturalistic imagery which dominates the left side of the composition. To balance the vacuous thrust of the non-objective angularity of the right side of the composition, I included a large sphere and a portion of a Chinese-language newspaper. To balance the vacuous thrust of the literal associations of the landscape imagery on the left of the composition, I included imagery of a purely non-objective abstract nature.
This painting is about an irreconcilable moment in rational time wherein the ancillary factors which parenthetically constitute the irreconcilable elements are in a state of visual and conceptual balance of pictorial, or transcendent, time.
