About the Item

"After Aristotle" by Susan Squires is an evocative oil and encaustic painting that invites viewers into a contemplative space, blending ancient philosophy with modern artistic inquiry. Squires, known for her meditative encaustic works, layers wax over printed materials, creating a dialogue between her own perspective and those of other creative thinkers. In this piece, the act of layering and the interplay of visible and hidden symmetries evoke a sense of time transcended, echoing Aristotle’s enduring search for meaning and understanding. The grid, a rational structure underlying the composition, is balanced by intuitive decisions, resulting in a harmonious tension between order and spontaneity. Sacred geometry, especially the circle—a symbol of unity and enlightenment—serves as both inspiration and metaphor, centering the work on the essence of being. Squires’s art, influenced by the quiet grandeur of Italian cathedrals and the intricate patterns of Cosmatesque floors, becomes a poetic meditation on the mind, body, and spirit. "After Aristotle" thus stands as a bridge between historical ideas and contemporary reflection, offering a visual exploration of our place in the universe and the ongoing quest for understanding.
