THE ART OF  C. W.  BURWELL III

      QUADRIPTIC

This group of four canvases, when combined, form a 16' panorama.  The sequence begins with 2012, an imaginary convergence of multiple calamities coming upon the earth.   Second panel is Waves and Particles, a scene depicting the double-slit experiment, the warping of space/time and Plato's allegory of the cave.  Third in the sequence is Clockwork, depicting the mechanization of time measurement attended by sublime, human icons in flight.  The last panel is Spiritus Mundi, or 'spirit of the world'...a display of troubling events and situations on the human level and the arrival of divine intervention.
