What we see here - the artist has so eloquently captured the moment that a simple question is answered. Wherein it ceases to be a question, and becomes new knowledge. Its transformation from the unknown to the known.
The question mark drifts from the dot that held it anchored to the ground. The artist obviously left out the complete transformation of the question mark, as the journey will be different for everyone experiencing this masterfully captured moment.
I also suspect he chose the left side of the canvas to depict this moment of realization to call to all our minds the left and right side of the brain. This theoretical knowledge now exists in the left side of our brains, for our critical thinking and reasoning skills to further ponder.
Minimalistic, thought provoking, genius. We will start the bidding at ten million dollars. |
