A magnified view at the quantum level where only mathematics and art have the language capacity to imagine the entirely abstract reality of which our known world is comprised. Ink drawings made with 0.18mm and 0.13mm rotring pens.
Richard Penn is a South African born award wining artist based in Auckland. His work is often ambiguously placed between the very large and the very small so that the same work can be said to describe the vastness of space and the interaction of galaxies as well as the infinitely small and the processes of cellular and atomic activities.
Penn is interested in the extremes of reality where the known laws of our universe tend to break down as well as how we image reality starting with our eyes and brains, and then through the technology of science — transcending our physical limitations and extending our scope to dream.
