Provenance / HistoryThis Collage is made by using multiple types of paper, watercolor, acrylic, a digital drawing robot, and imagery adapted from anatomical studies....It is a part of a new body of work which is based on the theory put forth by the physicists, Menas Kafatos and Robert Nadeau that "consciousness" is a fundamental property of the Universe. 

Story / Additional InfoRecent Nobel Prize winners have demonstrated a strange new fact of nature...."that particles can be entangled over enormous distances, and that measurements made on such particles in one place have an immediate effect in another" ...violating the "speed of light"...a non local effect outside space and time....and as in art wholly dependent on the physical observation....thus the complex structure; the random drawing; and, the illusionistic images. Paintings will follow, in a new series, from these paper works.

Art Brokerage: Ed Kerns American Abstract Expressionist Artist: b. 1945. Ed Kerns (February 22, 1945) is an American abstract artist and educator. Kerns studied with the noted Abstract-Expressionist painter, Grace Hartigan and through the elder artist came to know and work with many artists of that generation including, Phillip Guston, Willem de Kooning, James Brooks, Ernest Briggs, Richard Diebenkorn and Sam Francis. Born in 1945 in Richmond, Virginia, Kerns started painting at a young age. He attended the Richmond Professional Institute, receiving his BFA in 1967. He went on to the Maryland Institute, where he studied with painter Grace Hartigan. Here, Kerns received the Hoffberger Fellowship and graduated with an MFA in 1969. Kerns first gained exposure in 1972, when he was commissioned by art collector Larry Aldrich to paint 100 paintings over the course of the year as gifts.That same year, Kerns had his first solo art show at the AM Sachs Gallery in New York. Over the course of the 1970s and 80s, Kerns formed a close partnership with the Rosa Esman Gallery and exhibited ten solo shows there. Of his work in the late 1970s and early 80s, gallery coordinator Judith Stein says, "He works slowly, creating no more than ten large paintings a year. His media are acrylic, sand, and thread, the last used to stitch together sections of canvas. Often plywood or upsom board is used as support." Listings wanted.
