These diamond-shaped pieces can best be described as a full spectrum of colors imploding/exploding from a center point on a gray ground. They evolved from the diamond-shaped panels in the "Poles/Dipole Series". I liked those panels so much I decided to refine the idea in a new series. I'm always amazed that a painting is just paint on a piece of fabric but can create such magic. I wanted to make that more obvious in this series, right down to the raw, exposed canvas around the edges. Although I prefer that the canvas remain unstretched, it can be stretched, if desired, using a textural line that surrounds the image as a guide. The resulting stretched canvas would be a one foot square with the title and signature/date on the bottom edges of the canvas.
The small pieces on paper in the next series ("PREIMP Series") are done simultaneously with
these "IMP" pieces.

These small pieces on paper are free explorations of optically mixed color. They are done simultaneously with the larger "IMP" pieces. As I begin working on any given "IMP" piece, I have to warm up the tool I use to sling the paint, as well as find out how the color I'm about to use is going to behave. Each color behaves differently due to differences in viscosity caused by the particular pigment in the color. Rather than waste the paint used to gather this information, I make quick decisions regarding combinations of colors on the small pieces of paper as I get a feel for each before adding it to the larger "IMP" piece. As the layers build up, new "optical" colors appear. After the first few, these small pieces became standardized in size and format, with four accompanying each "IMP".

This is a series of canvases exploring the optical mixing of color that evolved from single panel pieces to two panel pieces and finally to four panel pieces. All of the changes that fueled that evolution related primarily to proportions, spacing, and the efficient use of materials, dull as that may sound. The basic idea, which was related to the optical mixing of color, never changed, it just became more refined and took on new meanings. Surprisingly, they evolved into something I never expected with a kind of pre-ordained order. It was a fun ride.

All the paintings in this series ask the same question: What if this vast, breathtakingly beautiful physical universe that the Hubble Telescope and other instruments have documented in recent years intersects another universe, a universe of mind, of sentience? Two universes, existing in the same space (there is, after all, a lot of space between the tiny bits that make up our universe, on both sub-atomic and cosmological scales); two universes, intersecting but not interacting. The webs in these paintings represent the physical universe and are inspired by Hubble images, although they are, in fact, only slightly stylized interpretations of an image, generated by a supercomputer, of the web of galaxies and galaxies clusters in the early universe. The figures are meant to be "sentience" on another plane, pervading our universe but not interacting with it. As a group, these paintings represent an ongoing refinement of that idea...a Universe of Mind and Spirit.

Beginning around 2006, I used an electric little mark I had found to create images of "the universe of mind and spirit" as I envisioned it, inspired by images of the physical universe produced by the Hubble space telescope. I worked for several years to refine these images, especially the spatial aspects. All the pieces have a spatial structure built on a three-dimensional grid. Relationships between "figures" define that grid as it recedes in depth. Permeating that grid is a much larger, serene, higher(?) figure. A universe of Awareness. A universe with nebulas like our own.

These paintings are inspired by the visual cataloguing of plants and animals in the Victorian era. I had been doing some studies related to more biological themes and this series came along due to the small scale of each piece. This is the only series that resulted from those studies to date, but there were studies for a "Biolog" series with one-celled organisms and a "Primord" series that resembled primitive aquatic plants. I may yet explore both those themes.

As it happens, my birthday is the Fourth of July and m wife's birthday happens to be Valentine's Day. It dawned on me one day that it was a bit odd that I had never made images of hearts or firecrackers. That sent me, briefly, on a tangent.

The paintings in this series were my first attempt at depicting a "universe of mind and spirit". It was inspired, in large part by my discovery of an electric little mark that suggested string theory to me. The mark is the embodiment of energy and string theory suggests that everything is, ultimately , made of tiny knots of energy.

This body of work was created buy stamping all the signifiers onto the canvas. I hand-carved all the stamps myself using art gum erasers to begin with, then I used a rubbery material marketed for printmaking. I created several dozen stamps to use as the "vocabulary" for these paintings. The content addresses the concept of a layered reality.

This body of work uses shadows to address the idea that everyday reality is a shadow of a much larger reality. There are also many other signifiers in each piece that deal with the idea of the larger reality being multi-layered.

Biografia
Stephen Mauldin è un artista americano contemporaneo noto per il suo approccio sperimentale alla pittura. Il suo interesse per l'arte è iniziato all'età di sette anni e a dieci anni stava esplorando la pittura a olio, ispirato da un incontro precoce con le opere ingegneristiche di Leonardo da Vinci. Questa esperienza ha scatenato una passione che durerà tutta la vita per superare i confini della pittura e delle sue capacità.
Nel corso della sua carriera, Mauldin ha sperimentato continuamente nuove tecniche, che lo hanno portato a sviluppare metodi innovativi come la creazione di "assemblaggi di vernice" trasferendo la vernice dal vetro, estrudendo la vernice dalle siringhe per formare dipinti simili a ragnatele e lanciando la vernice ad alta velocità da spilli dritti ultra-sottili sulla tela. I segni prodotti da queste tecniche, caratterizzati da energia elettrica e dettagli fini, sono diventati centrali nel suo lavoro, in particolare nella loro risonanza simbolica con la teoria delle stringhe.
A partire dal 2006, Mauldin ha utilizzato questo segno distintivo per rappresentare "l'universo della mente e dello spirito", traendo ispirazione dalle immagini del telescopio spaziale Hubble. Il suo lavoro si è evoluto in una serie di figure radianti disposte su reti che ricordavano ammassi di galassie, che rispecchiavano anche la rete di neuroni nel cervello. Questa esplorazione lo ha portato ad approfondire la miscelazione ottica dei colori, che ha sviluppato attraverso la sua serie "Poles", un'esplorazione astratta dell'interazione dei colori attraverso sottili matasse di vernice sovrapposte.
Attualmente, Mauldin sta lavorando a una nuova serie di dipinti a forma di diamante, ampliando i temi visivi della sua serie "Poles". Queste opere, caratterizzate da bordi di tessuto grezzi e strappati e occhielli per il fissaggio a parete, si concentrano esclusivamente sulla miscelazione ottica del colore. Per Mauldin, la magia della pittura risiede nella sua capacità di trasformare semplici tessuti e vernice in qualcosa di straordinario, un concetto che intende evidenziare nelle sue ultime creazioni.
