Amy Cheng, "In the Absence of a Grand Unified Theory, " pigment print in greens

2016

About the Item

"In the Absence of a Grand Unified Field Theory" is one of a limited edition of 30 archival pigment prints of an original oil painting on canvas by Amy Cheng. It is part of a Mandala Series she produced in the 2010's. The central convex sphere backed by two attendant spheres are rich in volume, depth, intricacy and layers. Sumptuous, intricate, ornamented, these prints are richly referential — they call to mind a range of associations from mandalas, the cosmos, cells, lace, brocade and more. The artist feels aligned with the long history of geometric and floral ornamentation the Far Eastern, Middle Eastern, and European craftsmen have long employed. They did so with the implicit understanding that pattern and repetition, which are endemic in nature, are primal in their rhythmic connection to the human nervous system. The print is printed with archival pigment inks on Sommerset Velvet, 100% rag fine art paper, 200 gsm, acid free. The image measures 25" H x 31.5" W and is surrounded by a 2"-wide white border. This white space should be preserved (can be covered by a matte during framing) in order to preserve the visual breathing room around the image.
