Johanna Baruch
In ***Apeiron***, Johanna Baruch delves into the foundational concepts of existence, translating the abstract into a luminous, painterly form. The title, a Greek term meaning "the unlimited" or "the boundless," references the philosophical notion of a primary, indefinite substance from which all things are created. Rendered in oil and alkyd on a 48" x 48" aluminum panel, this work captures a sense of both primordial chaos and sublime order.
The painting is a rich tapestry of deep purples, soft blues, and subtle ochre lines that twist and weave across the surface. The central space seems to radiate with a pale, inner light, surrounded by a constellation of forms that suggest nebulae, cellular structures, or the bubbling of matter in a state of creation. The use of aluminum as a substrate amplifies this effect, imbuing the work with a shimmering, almost celestial glow.
Baruch's artistic process, which she describes as "alchemical," is on full display here. The flowing, organic lines and textures evoke the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the universe—from the smallest subatomic particles to the grandest galactic formations. ***Apeiron*** stands as a visual meditation on the infinite and the undefined, inviting viewers to contemplate the origins of all things and our place within a cosmos that is both boundless and intimately interconnected.
Custom size prints on aluminum are also available for the piece.
