quantum foam studio
what is this tomfoolery?
Welcome to quantum foam studio. After five or so years of creating piles of weird, little and not so little paintings, I finally summoned the courage to create a public space to display them. This is what I came up with, with some professional help (h/t Sofie, Jana and Art Storefronts).
Abstract art is the best way I’ve found to get the thoughts, ideas, worries, reoccurring dreams, stupid jokes, whatever happens to be rolling around my skull out of my head and onto something I can see and touch. Think of it as a kind of visual journaling.
So that’s what you’ll find here: a collection of peculiar works—some dark, some whimsical, and some, well, I’m still figuring what the hell they are. They are all meaningful to me in some way. I hope you’ll stay a while and maybe even find a piece or two that means something to you.
Thank you for visiting. Peace.
Bonus! Random Cartoon!
Untitled
If you’ve got an idea for a title, I’m all ears. I just think of it as “prefrontal.” (Check back, oh I dunno, sometime for a new random cartoon!)
Fragmented Realities
I use abstract art to give shape to my reality, which is no doubt different from your reality. It is a vexing issue, exacerbated by the proliferation of alternative “realities” in our civil discourse.
blinking lights and other revelations
Look up "abstract" and you'll find "disassociated from any specific instance” or "difficult to understand." All true, I suppose, but it works for me as an approximation of experience.
Non-Objective Dialectics
A mash-up of concepts from the disparate, or not so much, realms of art, philosophy, cognitive behavioral therapy and Marxism. It somehow all adds up in my skull.
Organic ConceitsI am a fair draftsman, yet not skilled at painting things that look like things. So my attempts to “paint from nature” are a bit, well, opaque. But if you haven’t yet grokked it, opaque sort of suits me.
