• JAKOB DWIGHT: SOLARWIND IN ARRAY

    November 1 - December 27, 2024

SOLARWIND IN ARRAY, artist Jakob Dwight's second one-person exhibition with the gallery, presents a kind of naturalist abstraction that takes on mythopoetic or psychic landscape feel.

Dwight's paintings reference imaging overall in an era of advanced viewing that allows humankind to see things we've never seen before: MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), X-ray, satellite photography of our own planet and our universe, microscopy and computer models of wind or ocean currents and fluid dynamics.
A continuation of the themes of his recent one-person exhibition "A Trillion Verses" at the Wiregrass Museum in Dothan, Alabama, the paintings in "Solarwind in Array" are visual letters from the artist to the first ancestral naturalists - the first human observers and artists - relaying some of what we now know about our universe, the wonders of what surrounds us and is within us all at all times.
Most simply described as an ode to or a praising of the Sun, the exhibition title "Solarwind in Array" is a heliocentric expression for how our experience and biological life overall might poetically be described: as electromagnetic energized wind from the sun speeding through our sphere where it slows for eons and is temporarily superorganized into a beautiful and vast array of forms before eventually dissipating back out into the ever-expanding universe.

And perhaps consciousness itself could be described as an instance of 'solarwind in array' in that one theory of what consciousness could be - and scientists barely know what it is - is the interplay of the electromagnetic field and our brain and its array of trillions of neurons and synapses.
