Abstractia in Etherics is the initial
step in a five part body of work which carries its namesake. This
is the culmination of work using unorthodox techniques developed
over the last 35 years. In this series, Krutein creates a dialectic
of both controlled and spontaneous interactions emanating from
the combining of everyday substances like water, cooking oils
and salt with those of harsh chemicals like bleach, battery acid
and soldering flux. Brushing, channeling and fixing this witches
brew onto mylar film, the artist is able to create wondrous organic
shapes and forms. The clash of these materials creates a newly
found harmony and beauty. Timing is crucial in the attempt to
navigate these chemical and physical reactions and turn them into
an art form. Once captured, the resulting image is scanned into
the computer and digitally completed to the artist's satisfaction.
The inspiration for this collection is based on the synthesis
of Celestial, Aquatic, Geophysical and Mystical concepts. Krutein
has spent his life exploring the interplay of physics and the
arts. From a fascination of Quantum Mechanics to a deep respect
for the Miracle of Life, Wernher Krutein has explored the many
facets that these ideas represent.
This is yet another manifestation of the artist's sense of
awe and wonder for the universe. It pays homage to the Great Mystery.
