(Drivebycuriosity) - Contemporary art is full of surprises & discoveries. At my recent visit of Chelsea`s art galleries I spotted the wonderful abstracts by Michael Schultheis. Gallery Winston Wächter Fine Art exhibits some of his large-scale acrylic paintings and bronze sculptures (winstonwachter ). The show is called "Venn Luminosity". The press release explains "drawing on the concept of a Venn diagram in which two circles overlap, Schultheis uses mathematics to tell stories of human relationship"
The press release continues: "In his practice of Analytical Expressionism, Schultheis demonstrates how mathematical relationships can be used as a lens to view and understand human connections. His paintings depict geometric forms alongside their written equations. Overlapping and intersecting circles represent the space between two people or the areas in which two lives overlap. The layered forms and formulas meld together to create rich compositions that at times resemble the Renaissance ceiling paintings by Tiepolo or luminous Romantic works of Turner. The paintings bridge a gap between viewers who are not used to seeing mathematical forms in art and mathematicians who can imagine the artful forms of equations, connecting math and art in an immediate manner."
These painting look like illustrations of quantum mechanical events.
