Kysa Johnson

Artist Statement:

"Kysa Johnson is a Los Angeles based artist whose drawings, paintings and installations draw from science. Using the shapes of subatomic decay patterns, the molecular structure of pollutants or of diseases and cures as foundational alphabets to make larger compositions, it depicts a physical reality that is invisible to the naked eye. Her recent Long Goodbye series uses subatomic decay patterns as a lexicon to build up compositions based on Hubble Space Telescope photographs of the life cycle of stars combining cycles of generation and transformation at the very smallest and largest boundaries of our physical reality.

Kysa graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland. She has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally including at The Aldrich Museum, The Tang Museum, The DeCordova Museum, Dublin Contemporary, The Katonah Museum of Art, and The National Academy of Science. Her work has been written about extensively including in Art Forum, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Hyperallergic, and Interview Magazine. Her work is included in many public collections including MIT, Microsoft, Google, The Progressive Collection, Deutsche Bank, and Credit Suisse. She is a NYFA fellow and Pollock Krasner Grant recipient. She is represented by Morgan Lehman Gallery in New York and Nancy Littlejohn Fine Art in Houston, TX.

Taken from Wikipedia, Quantum Mechanics:

Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics, quantum theory, the wave mechanical model and matrix mechanics), part of quantum field theory, is a fundamental theory in physics. It describes physical properties of nature on an atomic scale.[2]

Classical physics, the description of physics that existed before the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, describes many aspects of nature at an ordinary (macroscopic) scale, while quantum mechanics explains the aspects of nature at small (atomic and subatomic) scales, for which classical mechanics is insufficient.
