LASER Santa Fe presents:Deep Reality:Art, Physics, the Unseeable and Space-Timewith artist and physicist Paul Biagi Oct 30, Noon MST Paintings and drawings expressing the deep reality of myth and science. DATE/TIME: Friday, October 30, 2020 at 12 PM MST LOCATION: online, Zoom webinar -- webinar link will be emailed to registered participants. You may log in by phone or computer. COST: Free or tax-deductible donations accepted For more information please visit www.sciartsantafe.org Physicist and artist Paul Biagi will discuss how he uses a variety of methods for applying paint in the desire to develop surfaces that act as visual metaphors for the processes of contemporary physics including cosmology and quantum physics. By building up transparent layers of acrylic glazes he hints at a world of waves and vibrations that lie beneath this reality. This creates in our consciousness an experience of a cosmos where all occurs simultaneously and is intimately entangled. Besides the brush, he uses many different ways of applying the paint: pouring, troweling, spraying etc. Biagi, a prolific painter, dancer, and author, ultimately yearns to create images that he has a deep longing to see. Paul Biagi, PhD, began studying drawing, painting and dancing when he was a graduate student in physics in the late 1960’s. After completing his doctorate at the University of Colorado, he taught college-level Math and Physics. To prepare for teaching courses to liberal arts students relating art and contemporary physics, he studied humanities at New York University and attended NYU programs in Paris, Taiwan and Japan where he gained a background in Western and Oriental art. Working in academia gave him the opportunity to continue his studio art education in drawing and painting. Biagi pursued his interest in art while teaching for over forty-five years. He took early retirement to paint and draw, and continued his studies at The Santa Fe Community College and then went on to complete a Post Baccalaureate program at The Maryland Institute College of Art. He has been represented by both Vivo Contemporary and Reflection galleries. We are happy to announce that your hosts of LASER talks and Biocultura Santa Fe activities are now offering community events through SciArt Santa Fe, a New Mexico non-profit and national 501(c)3. SciArt Santa Fe is supported by our community of scientists and artists, friends, parents, and others interested in the integration of art and science. Our mission is to enrich the community by hosting sci-art activities and events. This Fall, we will be presenting LASER talks on wide-ranging topics. Please join us!
