Vision in Space
Available · in the studio, Phoenix
The eye in the void — monochrome holding the specific quality of vision when there is nothing to focus on except the act of seeing itself.
“Vision in Space' drifts between vision and memory, holding the space where perception meets emotion.”
Vision in Space (2024) is a quiet cosmos — a painting that floats between imagination, perception, and the vast unknown. Created with acrylic on a 60 x 60 inch canvas, this work from the Greyscale Collection conjures deep space not as astronomy, but as consciousness.
The surface shimmers with layered blacks, soft violets, and dusted greys. A glowing circular form hovers left of center — not quite a planet, not quite an eye. Around it, faint concentric rings and flickering points suggest orbits, systems, or thoughts.
I painted Vision in Space while meditating on the idea of inner vision — the kind that doesn’t use eyes. It’s a painting of floating clarity, of stillness amid the infinite.
This work aligns with the spatial mystery of Vija Celmins and the atmospheric sensitivity of Mark Rothko, though my space holds more form. There’s gravity here — but also weightlessness.
Vision in Space invites pause. It doesn’t explain. It opens.
Where to see it. In person at RituStudio, Phoenix, by appointment. Represented by Jarrow & Goodman, Los Angeles.
The space it needs
- Wall
- At least 8 ft wide
- Ceiling
- 9 ft or more
- Light
- Any lighting — monochrome palette is lighting-agnostic
- Daylight
- Monochrome in charcoal and muted white, it is indifferent to the color of daylight and holds in any room. Its textured surface changes with angle, so a window to one side lets the void deepen and lift through the day.
Lives best in
Hotel lobby 5/5
At 5 × 5 ft the work claims a lobby wall with authority, its muted white suspension and deep gloss blacks producing the wordless awe a guest should feel the moment they arrive.
Office 5/5
In a private office this painting scores a 5 because its inward theme, seeing with nothing to look at, mirrors the quality of attention serious work requires, without spectacle or distraction.
