Adoration of the Magi

Collection

Soma by Erik Swahn

Description

The intense chromatic bursts in *Soma* are partly a continuation of Erik Swahn's work with colour and abstraction, as seen in *Fields* (2023). At the same time, they mark a departure from his more geometrically focused work, such as *Farbteiler* (2021), *Punktwelt* (2022), and *Funktor* (2023). In *Soma* (Greek for "body"), both form and colour have dissolved into their smallest particles – a fine chromatic dust. In their place are nebulous clouds in a state of becoming, rather than possessing a final form – suggestive rather than representational. The formations in *Soma* simultaneously evoke anatomic, cellular, or even atomic structures of the microcosm, as well as celestial bodies of the macrocosm. The bodies in *Soma* are composed of colour, light and darkness. They emerge from a dark aether as embodiments of pure randomness, shaped by simple generative rules. Some appear as constellations or configurations of matter; others consist of multiple bodies, attracted and repelled by each other – some of them colliding. Optimised for viewing in Chrome.
