Two separate linear patterns colliding together to make donut-shaped rings that repeat in a diagonal angle. A gradient is present, starting with pinks and purples at the top, transitioning into greens and blues towards the bottom of the work.

Inspired by the human conception and experience of space-time, Nathan Beard’s complex, multi-layered surfaces create a sense of movement with organic patterns and variegated color relationships.
With his Exit Music series, Beard imagines exit music as a metaphor for transition and the complicated and often contradictory feelings that exiting or “the end” conjures. The S-shaped gesture found in Exit Music #46 (Slow Down) evokes the march of time and infinity, and is a visual representation of the energies at work forming and reforming all we see and experience.
