Paul Shapiro Formation 46, 2004, Oil, Mixed Media on Panel.
Paul Shapiro “I feel that this work is beyond the verbal and exists in a realm that is beyond art history, culture, etc. It seems to be related to a deep meditative state that is outside our normal experience as though I am peeking behind the fabric of consensual reality and having entered into a visual metaphor where the physical building blocks of many realities exist waiting to be interacted with thus creating subject and object. That is why I think that there is a connection with my work and quantum physics. Of course my work is a metaphor of this and not an actual depiction of something that can't be depicted anyway because it is outside of the realm of the usual senses."
