"E0102-72.3" by Jan Pieter Fokkens
About the Item
The colorful paintings of Jan Pieter Fokkens transport us to distant worlds beyond our comprehension. Within his seemingly infinite networks of lines, dots, and crosses, he decodes the recognizable to create something unfamiliar.
Each work begins with a colorized photo captured by a deep-space telescope. With the aid of custom algorithms, Fokkens manipulates the “fake pixels” of these images, isolating qualities of pattern and color. He then hand-draws these abstracted qualities as intersecting lines of color, reconstructing the sense of longing and wonder one feels when they look out at the stars.
Entitled "E0102-72.3," this vibrant drawing offers a representation of the supernova remnant E0102, located 190,000 light years away from Earth.
Framed. Pigment ink on photo paper.
