Exhibition Description:
Higher Order Stops Pain is a series of artworks devoted to the painterly depiction of the raw, relaxing beauty of flowers and landscapes & contrary to that, struggle in military and biological conflicts - threatening physical and moral competitions between contenders. Some philosophers say pain forever corrects power, ruling all evolutionary processes. Everything that seriously changes - usually changes due to unbearable pain to continue the way was previously acceptable. These paintings are an artful exploration of all kinds of pain and relations causing problem-solving evolutionary-developmental changes in the world. The canvas titled "The Hysteria" is specifically referenced here. It is a painting of a woman screaming in deadly pain, a clear homage to Eisenstein and Francis Bacon's Art. It is a striking, beautifully sensational composition in nearly monochromatic gamma with dominance of black and silver colors. Monumental Painting: To Those in War and Peace, depicting horrors and tragedy of War and The Challenge, depicting man-skeleton near boiling of his troubles to resolve problems. The works of Francis Bacon and Jean Michael Basquiat, significant other neo-expressionist painters, are recognized as influences here. Nicholaas Chiao's contribution to neo-expressionism is a geometrically balanced composition and skillful use of color theory.
