Yuri Figueroa
CHAOS I - contemporary, colorful abstract painting with gold leaf

2021

About the Item

In this abstract work, Mexico-born artist Yuri Figueroa uses bright, dynamic colors on a stark, white background to point the viewer towards larger issues of identity. Through aligning this work with chaos theory, Figueroa draws on the deep patterns, chaotic on first glance, which make up one's identity, while simultaneously revealing the disruptive capability of small, individual movements.

CHAOS III
By Yuri Figueroa
Located in Signal Mountain, TN
This piece is part of an exhibition in which Yuri Figueroa explores the relation between artworks that inform each other but respond to different systems of categorizing movement and color, where conventional structure and intuitive placing of tones will determine the disruptive chaos of the surrounding artworks and vice versa. Repercussion explores Chaos Theory, which explains that within the apparent randomness of chaotic and complex systems, there are underlying patterns and interconnectedness. You cannot have chaos without order and you cannot have order without chaos. What are the repercussions of a small change in the order of things? What conditions make patterns unpredictable? This particular painting, titled "Chaos III...
