ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK



Albert Einstein's 'spooky action at a distance' theory referred to ‘quantum entanglement’, which states that the measurement of one particle will instantly influence another particle, regardless of how far apart they are. This principle has inspired this series of paired paintings by Simon Averill. Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon which occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated, interact, or share spatial proximity in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the state of the other(s), even when the particles are separated by a large distance—instead, a quantum state must be described for the system as a whole. These works further enhance Averill's reputation for attempting to record elusive, fleeting and transitory phenomena. Produced through a multi layered, process of glazing where methodical and repetitive series' of motifs, are used to describe intangible potentials.
