ChaoStasis a solo exhibit by D Clarence Paul opening January 6th

About the Show in the artists words..

{ChaoStasis} Visuals of the very large and very small, journeying the imaginative spaces in between.
For the last two years I have been focusing on setting the goal of being a master, and letting go of my desire for masterpieces.  My mother, a Florence Oregon artist directly influenced my art and after her passing two years ago from Stage IV Cholangio Carcinoma, my life was turned upside down. Her life creed was “Enjoy the Journey.” While making Christmas wrapping paper with my niece Alethia a year later, we discovered the pure fun of pattern making with blown bubbles.  The Fractal imagery and organic nebulae intrigued me and over the next nine months I experimented with a multitude of pigments and materials trying to control the chaotic process and elevate it to an aesthetic that I desired.

This series combines a childlike sensibility with higher scientific principles.  I enjoy allowing an opportunity for the viewer’s interpretation and subjective meaning because this adds a relationship and deepens individual significance. This is my journey exploring the common visuals of deep space and microscopic imagery, and the imaginative spaces in between.

I am currently studying at the University of Oregon pursing an Art History BA, studied fine arts at Lane Community College, and will continue on to achieve my MFA.
