Michael Schultheis Curvatures 01, 02 2004 Acrylic on canvas 48 x 36 inches each Not on public view
Likening his canvas to a chalkboard, artist and mathematician Michael Schultheis creates paintings consisting of layers of mathematical notations and illustrations that describe the form and motion of three-dimensional geometric shapes. Artist’s Statement: These paintings chronicle my thoughts on the visually curious and precarious moment just before two tangent curves separate, when the Tusi couple becomes a deltoid, and the maple seed opens.
