Its a First once again on this November First Friday with Jon Neal Wallace's debut of Tulip Bathers. This painting debuts this painting, purposely derived from Bathers as a reference in art history to the impressionist and post impressionists who used this theme to showcase their search for a new view.

Picasso also painted Les Demoiselles d’ Avignon which relates to Cezanne’s Bathers which showed the beginnings of flattening and simplification of three dimensional images, cubism. From those artists came the last design principle, ‘less is more,’ and abstraction.

Jon Neal also debuts his art principle " Directions" with this painting. "Directions" is a new design principle because objects of colors, lines, and paint are layered on the canvas in all directions. Objects of lines, colors, paint move spherically back and forward in the painting giving the appearance of infinite depth within the borders of the canvas.

Another unique aspect of Directions are the points of light origins. This new principal utilizes many light origins going in many directions which indicates the direction(s) of the light source(s). It’s a subtle change but it forces the viewer eyes to see the object in a different way in space and time.

So come to view, admire and gaze at Jon Neal Wallace's Tulip Bathers and its own space at time - Sapere Art on Friday, November 6 at 6PM.
