Description
The “R.G.B.” triptych, a part of the Great Unmasking Series, stands as a monumental exploration of perception, identity, and interconnectedness, embodying a vast, organically evolved landscape of emotion and abstraction. Across its expansive three canvases, the piece unfolds a visual narrative that began with no predetermined vision— only an eye that spans all canvasses, symbolizing the watchful presence of the artist’s intuition and the singular lens through which all art is initially perceived.
Thousands of ripples traverse the surface of the triptych, each a testament to an endless state of motion and transformation. These ripples interact like the intertwined fates of people, each affecting and being affected by one another, a representation of the collective human experience. The resultant two faces that emerge from this sea of movement are not deliberate creations but the organic product of the painting’s intrinsic energy—a reflection on how identities are shaped by a multitude of external forces and internal vibrations.
The faces, while distinct, are part of a single whole, much like individual personas that contribute to the vastness of societal identity. The use of only three primary colors—red, green, and blue—emphasizes the simplicity within the complexity, a nod to the digital pixels that compose images on a screen. Each color is a building block, fundamental and potent, and when observed from a distance, they merge to form an image that is greater than the sum of its parts.
This huge artwork, while impressive in scale, is humbly acknowledged by the artist as representing just a single pixel—a powerful metaphor for the ego. No matter how grand or expansive one’s sense of self may be, it remains a mere fraction of the collective image of humanity. The “R.G.B.” painting thus plays with the duality of significance and insignificance, suggesting that however pronounced an individual ego might be, it is ultimately just one of millions required to create the complete picture of a community, a society, or indeed, the world.
The painting is a philosophical inquiry into the essence of being. It questions the nature of existence and the role of the individual within the greater cosmos. It is a visual representation of the paradox of importance, suggesting that every action, every ripple, contributes to the larger tapestry of life, yet in the grand scheme, each is but a transient moment in an eternal flow. This dichotomy is the soul of the “R.G.B.” triptych, where the macrocosm is reflected in the microcosm, and the vast ocean of human experience is encapsulated in a single, mesmerizing pixel.
