Strange Attractor
oil on canvas, 2008
10 x 14 inches
NOMA GALLERY is pleased to present Uncertainty Principle a collection of
paintings and works on paper by Georgi Tushev. Tushev's work both examine
and embody the brutal beauty of physical laws.
In his work, Tuschev uses paint that reacts to magnetic fields along with
magnets, gravity, oil and water, and paper or canvas. He then plays with
the materials to allow the natural forces to create the final image. In
fixing these phenomena onto paper or canvas, Tuschev confronts the
Uncertainty Principle; the interaction of the order of physical laws and
the chaos that comes from the cracks in those laws; the conflict between
complex patterns and disarray. The solution to this tension is in the
poetry of these works: they are simply very compelling and beautiful.
"Georgi Tushev's series of oil paintings are not figurative depictions of
strange attractors, but are instead a play on the concept. He applies
pigments containing iron or cobalt to canvas in the presence of a magnetic
field. The resulting three-dimensional structures reflect the contours of
the field lines. In his artist statement, Tushev writes, The build-up of
iron standing out like a punk haircut in my work is the result of chance.
In other words, exact outcomes of experiments cannot be predicted, the
best we can do is to predict the probability that any given outcome may
occur. Ambiguously resembling petals, tentacles, blast marks or craters,
Tushev's work evokes the statistical self-similarity that characterizes so
many things in the natural world, as well as the enigmas of chance"
