Propositional Truth: A Post Contemporary Meditation, New Works By Jude Barton

Opening Reception August 16, 2024 5-9 pm. Show Runs August 16, 2024- Sept 15th 2024

My work delves into the concepts of Order, Entropy, and Time, treating them as living forces beyond our control. Though abstract, these images hold deep personal meaning and serve as a meditative process, reflecting on the cycle of life and the universe’s natural order. I hope viewers find their own journey through the balance, tension, and texture within the lines, stepping away from social norms to connect with the simple elegance of a point, line, or circle.

By exploring these shapes, I aim to create a space where everyone can find their place of rest in the complexity of life. The background and negative space in my drawings are just as important as the visible lines, helping to frame and define the work. This balance between structure and open space creates an intimate area for the viewer to reflect and meditate, providing a moment of calm in an otherwise chaotic world. My goal is to offer a welcoming space for personal discovery and peace.
