The Pursuit of
Perfection By: Anna Bain

Bain's oil painting is sharp depiction of reality, a

concrete image and form we spent most of our
lives trying to achieve. Using a ballerina to depict
the pursuit for:

● Control;
● Happiness;
● Effortlessly seeming perfection
 Naked Portrait 2 By: Sun-Hyuk

We see a humanoid figure made up of branches

attempting to run forward but being held back by
a thick branch. Hyuk often talks about how he
wants to portray and in a way reverse the
separation between man and nature. The Idea
trying to go against the natural order of things is
very present in this piece and having a human
figure with no clear distinctions allows us to place
ourselves within the context of the artwork.
 Entropy III By: David Robles

The sculpture entropy is belongs to Robles

collection titled Entropy/Syntropy. It's meant to be
interpreted by the viewer and we can pick up on
the idea of letting randomness take its course. We
step into a more abstract idea of art and the
meaning it can have.
Entropy (2013) By: Rob Hilken

The installation is an unstable entropic sculptural

structure made of "Catalyst's structural columns.
The structure can always be rebuilt but it will
never the same again. Entropy is an exploration of
how physical forces acting on structures can be
seen as political processes by the way they affect
their stability.
Entropy 2 By: Rozsi Moser

The painting with which we are presented is a

cacophony of color and paint strokes. It's exactly
what it is and that can be anything. It is a pure
manifestation of a contemporary abstract
painting.
The Persistence of
Memory By: Salvador Dalí

Dalí's painting is extremely well known and has

been thoroughly scrutinise being called an
epitomizing of Dalí's ideas about the "softness"and
"hardness"of time.

Described by the second law of
This exposition had as a thermodynamics it is really just
primary objective a fancy word for chaos. And
cementing these concepts said law states that with the
that often seem abstract passage of time the amount of
and purely theoretical in entropy in a system always
human nature increases. "Things move
naturally and irreversibly
towards chaos"
Time's Arrow
The arrow of time is
the "one-way direction"
of time and it is tied to
the concept of entropy
and the second law of
thermodynamics
