About this artwork
As humans, we generally tend to perceive time in a linear manner. However, many of our common devices used to measure time are formatted in circular configurations. These range from ancient sun dials to analog clocks and modern timepieces. In what we perceive as our physical universe, spherical planets rotate while moving in primarily circular orbits around larger spherical objects as they all hurl through the infinity of space.
From Stonehenge… to medieval calendars to analog wristwatches, humans have attempted to employ circular motifs to harness or understand the passage of time in relationship to space and the physical world in which we exist.
My interest lies in the investigation, through the medium of abstract painting, of our perception and translation of these elements, both tangible and intangible. This abstract work also acknowledges and comments on significant art historical movements originating in 20th and 21st century painting.

« My goal is to reappraise and comment on evolving issues that originated in twentieth-century abstract painting and continue into today's contemporary genres. »
Prize winning American artist Jack Reilly is internationally known for his complex paintings on shaped canvas structures, signature brushwork and seductive illusionism. A original member of the Abstract Illusionism movement, Jack is one of the foremost American painters working in shaped canvas today.
Each piece is a cross pollination of painting and sculpture, intricately detailed and evocative of Byzantine mosaics and Gothic stained glass. Jack systematically utilizes color to express the emotional, intuitive and theoretical systems that respond to the shape of each work to memorizing effect. Producing a poetic object of contemplation and exploration into the sensuality of color, luster and surface, combined with the dynamic power of line, shape and structure.
Jack's artworks are held in prominent private and public collections and have been exhibited internationally.
