Eclectic Perambulations in the Noosphere
Tree of Life One
"Isaac Abrams was born and raised in the New York area. He is a self-taught artist with an academic background in literature, history, science and psychology. He founded the first gallery of Psychedelic Art in the world in 1965. He began working as a self-taught painter in the beginning of 1966. He began working as a sculptor in the 1970's. He began extensive work as an animation artist in 1981. He has always painted."
"The photo above shows a layer of salt formed on the surface of Searles Lake in California. Salt, yes, but with an interesting formation process. It greatly resembles three-dimensional models of topographic maps. The process involves the evaporation of the brine to create the crusts of salts, but with an ever-decreasing level of brine. The unique aspect of this formation is that the brine level apparently dropped in discrete stages. This allowed a ledge of salt to be formed distinct from those above and below. The somewhat regular spacing of the ledges (which so closely resembles those of contour lines) must have formed over daily cycles of evaporation during a time in which conditions of temperature and evaporation rates were very constant. Counting the ledges indicates this period of constancy to be about two weeks."
"RGB
Color est e pluribus unus
RGB is a work about the exploration of the “surface’s deepness”.
RGB designs create surfaces that mutate and interact with different chromatic stimulus.
RGB’s technique consists in the overlapping of three different images, each one in a primary color. The resulting images from this three level’s superimposition are unexpected and disorienting. The colors mix up, the lines and shapes entwine becoming oneiric and not completely clear. Through a colored filter (a light or a transparent material) it is possible to see clearly the layers in which the image is composed. The filter’s colors are red, green and blue, each one of them serves to reveal one of the three layers."
