BLUE MAGNETIC 41" x 48", $12,000 About this Artwork: Magnetism and light are both mysterious, The universe is saturated in this dynamic phenomenon. The word dynamic means a force that stimulates change or progress within a system or process. When two magnetic energy sources approach each other, they repel, attract and interact. There is a positive -negative geometric logic we can see and manipulate readliy, but we are still in the dark as to how and why it happens at all. About the Series: For Dray, Philosophy deals in the abstract and abstraction is an indispensable tool in art and culture. Through his paintings, he reasserts that abstraction has been a part of humanity, all cultures in all ages. It’s an indispensable tool, as we create symbols, vessels to fill with allusions and messages. The resulting artwork have a strong sense of purpose. Each painting contains hundreds of hand coloured trapezoid shapes, hand drawn with a sharp blade onto silver or gold leaf. Each coloured shape can be interpreted to represent an ‘atomic’ element. On its own a block of colour is insignificant but seen as part of a whole it becomes dynamic and alive reflecting on how nature works. The phenomena of light is also important to the work. The light of the sun in a room illuminates and reflects off the paintings as they come alive and change through time. About the Artist: Benjamin Dray is an artist based in Sydney, Australia. He completed his formal art education in Australia and has painted continuously for the last 30 years living and working in his studio home on Scotland Island...
