Steve Roden

transmission 11/60 (stellar regions)

2001

A luminous, layered composition of oil, acrylic, beeswax, and polyurethane creates a translucent, atmospheric depth suggestive of cosmic space and signal. Roden's restrained palette and delicate mark-making evoke the quiet hum of distant transmissions, blurring the boundary between the visual and the auditory. The work invites contemplative stillness, as fragmented forms seem to drift and dissolve like stellar light across the canvas.
