Johanna Baruch
Johanna Baruch's Prescience is a powerful diptych that translates the profound visual and emotional experience of viewing deep-space imagery into a tangible, painterly form. Composed of oil and alkyd on panel, this work is part of a series where the artist explores her visceral connection to the cosmos, specifically inspired by the photographs from the Hubble Space Telescope.
Rather than a literal depiction of astronomical phenomena, Baruch's creation is an intuitive and expressive response to the universe's vastness and dynamic energy. The painting is a cascade of brilliant colors, with swirling and coalescing forms that evoke the birth of stars within nebulae or the luminous trails of colliding galaxies. The artist's use of a flowing, liquid medium captures the continuous motion of celestial bodies and the ever-changing nature of space.
The title, Prescience, suggests a deeper, almost pre-cognitive, connection to these cosmic landscapes. Baruch's work is an exploration of the idea that we, and our planet, are fundamentally linked to the universe—a sense of ancestral recognition she describes as an "alchemical process." The piece invites viewers to look beyond the surface and reconnect with a sense of wonder and belonging in a universe we are all a part of.
Custom size prints on aluminum are also available for the piece.
