Acrylic on canvas
48 x 48 in. (121.9 x 121.9 cm)
Signed, titled, and dated, verso
Titled ‘3 2 1,’ this painting captures the universal sentiment of anticipation and the inexorable passage of time towards a pivotal moment. The deliberate use of an ellipsis after the sequence adds a profound sense of continuity, inviting viewers to imagine the events beyond the canvas. The numerical countdown becomes potent symbols of transition and the nature of time. Isolated against an undefined backdrop, they prompt reflection on change and the unknown future. The ellipsis, hinting at ‘what comes next,’ deepens the mystery, suggesting unseen possibilities.
Through its minimalist approach and symbolic language, ‘3 2 1’ explores the human experience of waiting for significant moments. It challenges viewers to confront their emotions surrounding anticipation, change, and the passage of time, reminding us of life’s transient nature and the constant presence of beginnings and endings.

Born and raised in New York City. He attended the High School of Art and Design and then the School of Visual Arts where he greatly admired and was influenced by artist Chuck Close, first as a student of Close’s and later as a friend. A neo-pointillist, Bezas is inspired by historically important pointillist artists such as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. Bezas’ distinctive trademark is the vertical and horizontal stacks of dots contained within a grid, which he sometimes places on a diagonal. Another distinct narrative of his art is the alternating dot pattern achieved by the smaller grids within larger ones and the two alternating dot sizes. He has created a contemporary hybrid using his design sensibilities, photography and painting talents, blurring the lines among the three. The dots in his art interrelate and culminate into something that’s larger than the sum of its parts. The viewer is utterly transfixed to realize that the work is created from a mélange of meticulously placed dots of varying sizes into an underlying grid in an artistic, mathematical process, whereby the actual composition comes alive with exciting recognition.

What was once representational with a clear focal point becomes a decidedly all-over abstract composition almost archaeological in nature. This laborious and emotional process of erasure synchronizes with the show’s theme – an elaboration on the Garden of Eden and the concept of expulsion from paradise...Category
