The Philosophy of Form and Color

When perceiving any physical form, our mind responds to the character of the specific form.  Everything that we see has a form or is given form by our perception.  Each form that we perceive evokes or is capable of evoking some kind of response in us.  In other words everything has a form and all form has some form of content or spirit.  Artists understand this and manipulate form in order to express certain and not readily apparent contents.  Form is what we see and content is what we interpret as the meaning of what we see.  The relationships between form and content are dynamic. As form changes so does content.   This exhibition will feature selected paintings and drawings from my collection from different periods and stages of my work and will illustrate what I mean by this relationship of form and content.  

 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. #painting

The sound of color - A film by Eyob Mergia

This is a short film that traces the history of music of the United States of America. 

The roots of American Music began during slavery and took different directions.
Eyob Mergia has captured the value of music in our culture. All art form contributes to the continuous shaping of our culture; they inspire and shape our perspectives. The beauty of this film is that it collaborates musical form, art form to tell the history of American Music.

“The artist should have a message to convey. A message revealed to him by his inner voice, which also accounts for the beauty of his work. Only that is beautiful.” Eyob Mergia

God Particle 36.ft w X 6 ft.

This artwork is one of my last pieces inspired by the God Particle theory that was discovered July 2012. This art work revealed to me the excitement of life of discovering the beauty of the Universe and therefore of our every day life.This piece is composed by 36 single panels on the wood, Four Elements: Ea...rth, Water, Air, Fire ,each one measures 2ft. x 2ft. a total of 36.ft X 6 ft. h. This piece can also be separated in four different sections each of 6ft x 6ft

God Particle: Scientists from the atom smasher in Switzerland say to have discovered a subatomic particle, named “God particle” because it is believe to have originated during the Big Bang and helped shape the subatomic particles that make up all matter in the universe,

However the artist should have a message to convey, a message revealed to him by his inner voice that also accounts for the beauty of his work. Only that is beautiful.

The kiss. This is one of my recent works and one of my favorite. Happynew year.
