In Eamon Ore-Giron's Infinite Regress series, the artist’s totemic visual language is subject to an ongoing process of reformulation. In philosophy, infinite regress is a sequence of reasoning which never ends, a paradox of limitless regeneration that disproves the concept of fixed knowledge—in connecting one element to another, a third one is generated and so on, endlessly.
Painting with highly-pigmented flashe on raw brown linen, Ore-Giron renders geometric shapes whose palette and composite forms recall religious iconography, sacred landscapes, and celestial bodies in cyclical passages of time. With simple shapes that shift in and out of graphic fields of gold, the paintings in this series are each a variation on the one that came before, suggesting a trajectory of future iterations. Their chromatic planes play on spatial recession and optical perception as they trace an infinite path forward.
