ADELAIDE MURPHY TYROL
Our knowledge of the world constantly shifts and evolves according to the paths of our exploration. We, as a species, tenaciously strive to understand the world, to explain the human enterprise and to set up a codified system of beliefs. Differences in culture, geographic location and political temperature affect how we research our ideas and intuitions and they ultimately determine the texture of our expression.
My most recent series of paintings are collectively titled “What is Past, is Passing and is to Come”. They are narrative panels, which describe an unusual place, an altar of existence. The paintings address the themes of human interaction with nature and ideas about religion and science, collapse and rebirth. As we advance in the understanding of the universe, our belief systems mutate. Can science and religion continue to co-exist as separate spheres of knowledge? Where do religion and culture fit in with the unrelenting energy, the cool tenacity of life processes? Could we imagine science as the new religion pecking its way through the eggshell?
These ideas are companions to my work; they propel me and keep me intellectually connected to current situations. But a painting, first and foremost, is a physical entity; a visual balancing act weighing light with dark, the accidental with the deliberate and specificity with ambiguity. A painting is formed by many things, but in the end, it is paint on panel. I believe that there is something inherent in this balancing act of materials and physical properties that has the potential to address deep and untethered parts of the mind.
