“Test One”

“Test One” marks the genesis of Beas’s Big Bang series, representing a critical experiment in the broader exploration of painting mediums that would inform the direction of this iconic collection. This foundational piece tested the interactions of diverse paints like high gloss enamel, latex, Aero gloss model airplane paint, Liquitex, oil paints, and Polymark glass stain. It was pivotal in shaping the paint choices and techniques for his series. “Test One” is not just an artwork but a critical piece that underpins the creative evolution of Beas’s work.
