The Genesis of my painting "Space-Warp Machine II"

in #art7 years ago

But thought is only a reaction, a response of memory and thought breeds time to cover the space between what is and what should be. The what should be, the ideal, is verbal, theoretical; it has no reality. The actual has no time; it has no end to achieve, no distance to travel. The fact is and everything else is not. There is no fact if there's not death to ideal, to achievement, to an end; the ideal, the goal are an escape from the fact. The fact has no time and no space.

The geometry of this painting is based on a truncated hexacosichoron (600-cell) – a regular 4-dimensional polytope generated with Fritz H.Obermeyer's Jenn3D software.

You just blew my mind. What the hell dude????? You are a freaking amazing artist. What an awesome piece. It's f@#king incredible.

Thank you @hendrix22 :-)

I would upvote this post but I don't have any 1 cent upvotes lol. I'll try anyways.

Nope!!!! I knew it. Sorry my friend my account is new and still really weak. I do however love your art a lot. You earned a new follower.

You never cease to amaze me with your work. Do you mind if I ask, I see the picture with your work in the gallery, do you sell them, and around how much do your pieces sell for?

You can check my official price list here: http://gric.at/preisliste/

How is it even possible.
You have to be a spiderman to paint all the parts.

Just need to do some stretching!

Another really cool piece, nice! Have you read Jung's Psychological Types? That quote about the actual and the ideal is drawing my thoughts to the dichotomies it deals with.

Thanks @fungusmonk! Jung also is a great inspiration for me!
