Piece description from the artist
"Turtles All the Way Down" is an abstract triptych exploring ideas about emergence of complex systems from simple frameworks and contained chaos. There is an explosion of material and mark making bursting out of the center of this composition, but mostly not making it all the way to the edges, as if contained by invisible forces like a magnetic field holding in the constituent elements in a fusion reaction.
The triptych form warps what is already a three dimensional hyperplane into a set of volumetric objects with a direct relationship to the more banal third dimension of every day life. The painting presents a space within the space.
Blake Brasher is a visual artist working primarily in mixed media painting. His colorful abstractions are reflections on the nature of reality and what it is like to be a thinking being in a universe that is at once beautiful and terrifying. He grew up in Alaska, and has also lived in Turkey, Texas, and Arizona before moving to Massachusetts in 1997. He received his BS in Art and Design from MIT in 2003 and his MFA from Lesley University in Cambridge MA in 2022. He has been exhibiting his work publicly since 2008. His work is internationally collected, and he has participated in artist residency programs in Italy, Romania, France, New York, and Massachusetts.
