Images are only perceived through the courtesy of light, in darkness there is nothing to be seen: and in these remarkable paintings a unique, shifting, illuminating dance of light is both medium and message, it is their very vehicle, their essence, their substance. It is only after that initial, first impact that one is slowly aware, through the unfolding waves of subtle parallels to the history of art, that these glowing, carved metal wonders sum up so many of the aesthetic ideas of the great masters; and yet ultimately the first impression is the correct one, they stand on their own, not as ideas or as historical references but as magical, spine-tingling objects.

This is an amazing painting!  WILL PROVIDE ORIGINAL RECEIPT FROM WEINSTEIN GALLERY.  Nottebohm continues a long-standing art historical tradition that marries fine art and science in a seamless union. Like da Vinci before him, he draws on interests in geometry and the origins and operation of the universe to craft incredibly detailed artworks that are visually stunning as well as technically sophisticated. Nottebohm’s work is included in the collection of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum as well as Crocker Art Museum and Nevada Museum of Art. Nottebohm’s metal works invoke characteristics of sculpture, inviting light and shadow to animate his carefully designed topographies. “Nottebohm’s technique of grinding aluminum with a power sander results in holographic spatial effects that tease the eye and challenge the mind”, observes Crocker Art Museum curator Scott Shields.
