Macrocosm

abstract contemporary art

36x48"
©2008 Kathleen Karlsen

About This Painting

The painting Macrocosm has a clear focus of light--perhaps a central sun shining through in a sector of the galaxy far, far away. I was eight years old when we landed on the moon. Hundreds of school children gathered in the auditorium to see the event on a tiny black and white TV screen in the center of the room. We didn't have wide screen TVs or multiple monitors in those days. Then the first movie in the Star Wars trilogy came out the summer before I entered high school. We had stopped to visit relatives during a trek across the country to my father's latest military assignment and I went to see the movie with my cousins. I went in to the movie feeling despair about the prospect of starting over again in a new school that fall. I left the movie with a sense of something much bigger than myself that calmed and comforted me. The bright colors of Macrocosm are a depiction of the hope I have held since childhood for the universe itself and the future of humanity. See article below on the people behind the Hubble telescope.
