This painting can be considered non-objective rather than abstract. These two terms describe the intent behind the composition. A nonobjective painting uses color, shape, line without any reference to subject matter or recognizable images. An abstract painting can distort and exaggerate color, line, shape but usually there is some form of recognizable subject matter. Titles are always subjective, this title refers to my concept of the moments following what is known as the “big bang” in cosmology, when matter became visible. The progression of warm to very cool colors in the composition suggests temperature change and evolving matter. The many fractured shapes with radial directionality suggest chaos and a restructuring of material. In nonobjective and abstract paintings anything goes, there is a freedom implicit because there is no one right answer or way of depicting a concept.
