Chris Pew - Disorderly Circumvolution
Letterpress Print edition of 100
8”x 10”
Artist Bio
Merging the dynamic, and often polar, worlds of science and art, Oakland, CA artist, Chris Pew, explores ideas of an abstract cosmos and different trajectories for the unobservable universe. Chris’ work revolves around scientific theories and his art is an interpretation of those theories. He is interested in the hypothetical conditions of these theories and this is what he portrays in his work. Many times, scientists are purely speculating on a theory that only takes place if a certain condition exists, or the theory is impossible to prove in the foreseeable future.
Artist Inspiration
The idea for this piece came about after exploring concepts about singularity and how systems begin to take shape. This piece is a part of a series of drawings entitled “A Change in Circumference.”
