GEOFFREY M. HALL. GEOMETRIC EXPRESSIONISM. Unity Taking Shape
Theory of Relativity: Concept in physics that measurements change when considered by observers in various states of motion.
In classical physics, it was assumed that all observers anywhere in the universe would obtain identical measurements of space and time intervals. According to relativity theory, this is not so; all measurements depend on the relative motions of the observer and the observed. There are two distinct theories of relativity, both proposed by Albert Einstein. The special theory of relativity (1905) developed from Einstein's acceptance that the speed of light is the same in all reference frames, irrespective of their relative motion. It deals with non-accelerating reference frames, and is concerned primarily with electric and magnetic phenomena and their propagation in space and time. The general theory (1916) was developed primarily to deal with gravitation and involves accelerating reference frames. Both theories are major milestones in the history of modern physics.
On My Art: I reference these basic definitions to illustrate how I want my art to be perceived. While they don’t have any specific symbols relating to the physical theories, my concepts behind them and you do. I understand that when it comes to art everyone is different, meaning that the art I enjoy can be very different than what the person standing next to me likes. That same perception difference occurs in each of our senses. Each of my paintings have specific shapes and colors that give me meaning from my expression, but once they are finished and hanging on a wall they be come independent of me. While I have painted from my experiences, the viewer has had their own experiences, and will see the paintings relative to those experiences. That is why none of my paintings have titles, because I wish the viewer’s experience to be completely independent from mine. The only addition I have made to the show is the title, and that is only a formal reference derived from some mathematical theories. Truly it is only saying geometric expressionism in a different way.
