Scientific advancement is expressed through the use of systems of
representation bound to science, religion and art, which are in tune
with a post modernism context. Such visual language is used to

beliefs. In my scientific endeavour there are a number of enigmatic
symbols, marks and tokens applied on the surface of the canvas to
evoke universal values and to express this pilgrimage to discover a hidden order.

opposites and another layer of meaning.

nucleus, neutrons and protons are present to symbolize our nuclear
roots. (Word document)

James Rosenquist. Painting Below Zero: Notes on a Life in Art. “Frank, funny, truthful, ironic and in every way an entertaining account of one major American artist’s involvement in an art movement that interests everyone–and, more than that, of his own character. Jim Rosenquist is a true American original and his book ought to be read by anyone who wants to understand the last half-century of his country’s visual culture, high, low, and in between.” –Robert Hughes, amazon |
