Story / Additional InfoThis particular piece is a part of a larger group of recent works which derive their intellectual impetus from my studies of an astounding recent discovery in physics.. The 2022 three-way split of the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for work that proved the strangely quantum nature of reality. The essence of the discovery is that two particles even when widely separated continue to communicate and mutually influence each other without an apparent means to do so. It is called entanglement and redefines how the universe functions on an elemental level. Everything is inter-dependent. It also has to do with the nature of observation and measurement, where all matter is in a continuous state of potential or "in a state of superposition" until it is observed. This places consciousness as fundamental to reality ....the basis of abstraction and the etymology of original vision.

Art Brokerage: Ed Kerns American Abstract Expressionist Artist: b. 1945. Ed Kerns (February 22, 1945) is an American abstract artist and educator. Kerns studied with the noted Abstract-Expressionist painter, Grace Hartigan and through the elder artist came to know and work with many artists of that generation including, Phillip Guston, Willem de Kooning, James Brooks, Ernest Briggs, Richard Diebenkorn and Sam Francis. Born in 1945 in Richmond, Virginia, Kerns started painting at a young age. He attended the Richmond Professional Institute, receiving his BFA in 1967. He went on to the Maryland Institute, where he studied with painter Grace Hartigan. Here, Kerns received the Hoffberger Fellowship and graduated with an MFA in 1969. Kerns first gained exposure in 1972, when he was commissioned by art collector Larry Aldrich to paint 100 paintings over the course of the year as gifts.That same year, Kerns had his first solo art show at the AM Sachs Gallery in New York. Over the course of the 1970s and 80s, Kerns formed a close partnership with the Rosa Esman Gallery and exhibited ten solo shows there. Of his work in the late 1970s and early 80s, gallery coordinator Judith Stein says, “He works slowly, creating no more than ten large paintings a year. His media are acrylic, sand, and thread, the last used to stitch together sections of canvas. Often plywood or upsom board is used as support.” Listings wanted.
