There is so much movement, so much life. Could it be a Mardi Gras street celebration with people dancing, singing, and cavorting? Or could these shapes be nebulae in deep space? Nebulae include lots of swirling movement and shocking combinations of color. The unreality of your piece reflects the surreal activity of human beings out of control or stars exploding. The failure of the human body, and of all things, to keep up with the cosmic trends of the times is an eternal reminder of the desperate need for survival and progress. These are life-threatening times and yet we keep trying to keep up.Robert Mapplethorpes exhibition was titled The Silent Age. The six-foot-high, hollow, translucent, and steel-shaped colossi he used to stand in a variety of hues make up his crudely modeled figures. The most striking of them, for example, were the monochromatic photos, clearly intended to impart maximum illusion, that he used in the film Black Beauty. A picture such as Black Beauty with Colossi, 1982, is a common collage in this group of works. The collages, which are invariably crudely rendered in black-and-white, are designed to look as if they are made of concrete, and often lean against their base in an effort to stand out from it. The collaged image here is of a naked naked, human, middle-aged man on a bed who looks out into the distance and his reflection. The men face is blurred, but the eye sockets are full, revealing the eyes. The distortion is meant to imply the displacement of the humans memory of them from the past, of their own injuries.The effect is convincing, but there is a critical edge in Mapplethorpes work that is particularly disturbing. His canvases are constructed by using a variety of technical means, from airbrushing to gouging and gouging, applying acrylic paint to imitate natural surfaces, and using the most extreme materials for painting. These methods are so refined that one wonders what the artist has seen and done with them. Mapplethorpes method of painting his figures, the same one used in Black Beauty, is a marvelous process, and his ability to transform ordinary, everyday images into sculptural sculptures is impressive.

James Lees science-fiction epic Pandora: Long Way Home is a fascinating exploration of the uncanny and power of the unconscious. The book provides a detailed analysis of the many anomalies of the subconscious and provides numerous ruminations on the nature and source of reality. Pandora, a science-fiction film, was inspired by a radio show on the Babylon 5 satellite channel, in which a crew of extraterrestrial explorers report on a massive comet that is about to destroy the earth. The film itself is set in a vast, empty, gray sea of space, while the background is black. It is a nightmare, a film of extreme inchoate complexity. The result is a vivid, highly charged atmosphere. In the film, a spaceship, equipped with laser scanners and sentry dogs, witnesses the destruction, and the robots, along with the aliens, were created to explore the mysterious emptiness of the void, which is what the film traces. The aliens, with their little mannequins, are rounded out by giant, small, and blue star bits, each with a different, ominous appearance. Their specter is forever haunting the earth.Long Way Home follows another sci-fi movie: The Terminator, a gritty, hallucinatory sci-fi film that follows the rise of the man in the Terminator world. The film is set in a ruined and abandoned world, where, once again, space becomes an illusion. The human race is in deep confusion, unable to anticipate the impending catastrophe. With a vengeance, the man murders thousands of human beings, transforming the world into a desolate wasteland. As in all of the sci-fi movies, the humanity is essentially an accidental consequence of the machines. Lees film takes into consideration the nature and nature of human beings, as well as their relationship to the machines. In this work, the humanity is an outgrowth of the machines.The convergence of technology and nature is the essence of our time.

There is so much movement, so much life. Could it be a Mardi Gras street celebration with people dancing, singing, and cavorting? Or could these shapes be nebulae in deep space? Nebulae include lots of swirling movement and shocking combinations of color. The unreality of your piece reflects the surreal activity of human beings out of control or stars exploding. A loose collection of playful forms, such as the glittering micro-evolutions of the incongruous polyhedron, the smallish mushroom, and the house-shape, suggests an island of magic, a fusion of both the sublime and the depraved.This is the core of the work, as much as the inky, sometimes grayed color and sensual lines of nebulous nebulousness. The works range in size from fourteen by twenty-six inches, the smallest, to thirty-three by thirty-three inches. The space that you create is an atmosphere that is alive with life, that is filled with the creative activity of the senses, the creative qualities that we seek to express in our bodies, and the creative qualities that we find in nature. Here are elements that have been imprinted in our minds into our bodies, our minds, and our bodies, all connected to our bodies. Your body becomes the first chamber of the mind, where you can imagine what happens and what you will do with that body. The mind is a place where you and you alone create and influence nature.This shows featured fourteen small works from the past year. Each work consists of a single line drawn with a dense, black line in pencil that runs horizontally across the surface. This line is no longer there, but rather in the shape of an iridescent patch, a diffuse, sometimes foggy patch. The line appears in many patterns and folds, from forest green to apricot, or pinks and purples. The smallest works are used in conjunction with the larger, large ones to form the basis of the works on paper. The lines are drawn in black, and they become part of the surface of the works that follow. Each line is a vibrant color combination, a chaotic field of color and an irregularly shaped mass of dense, dense colors. The work is a combination of the intuitive, the rational, the rational, and the intuitive.

This is the soul of spaceflight: a kind of atomic dance. Like a magical event, life goes on, on with chaos.

Leo is working with the influence of Carl Andres Rosin and his paintings, in particular his Fish (Aqua), 1969–70. Rosins paintings are worlds and landscapes where anything can happen, including existence itself, but where space is especially delicate, illuminated by the light of the sun. His paintings take place in a time when space itself is moving, yet the boundaries of the world are quickly broken. But, Rosin reminds us, space is a place of pure perception, not a thing to be grabbed.The music in Leo Persistence is the single most brilliant thing about it. Its lyrical in its simplicity. It might be the most beautiful thing in the world. Its dense and beautiful in its density. Its moving and ecstatic in its movements and rhythms. Its silent and beautiful in its silence. The music is more like a prayer than a festival, more like an intense meditation than a party. Its images are really images of places where the mind can be swept, only for the mind to be flooded again. Leo has made a masterpiece of that mind. Even without the music, it is an astonishing work. That music is filled with dreams, of an infinite abundance and abundance.
