Jason Stout: "Black Star Unscripted" Exhibition at REM Gallery

Black Star Unscripted, a solo exhibition by Jason Stout will open at REM Gallery in San Antonio, Texas on November 9th, 2019. The reception will be held from 6-9pm.

This exhibit, consisting of drawings and paintings, deals with notions of political strife coexisting with environmental concerns to create compositions of smaller troubled environments. There are fragmented figurative elements existing in and outside of these clouds, as well as tools, weapons, and vices. These fragments serve as visual metaphors that address specific narratives from our modern time.

Black Star - A black star is created when matter compresses at a rate significantly less than the freefall velocity of a hypothetical particle falling to the center of its star, because quantum processes create vacuum polarization, which creates a form of degeneracy pressure, preventing spacetime (and the particles held within it) from occupying the same space at the same time. The predicted interior of a black star will be composed of this strange state of spacetime, with each length in depth heading inward appearing the same as a black star of equivalent mass and radius with the overlayment stripped off. Temperatures increase with depth towards the center.

Unscripted - Not following a prepared script.
