“Test Two”

In “Test Two,” Beas delves deeper into the alchemy of paints, refining the experimental approach that defines his Big Bang series. This 1978 work further explores the interaction of enamel, oil, latex, and acrylic paints. Through this work, Beas deepens his understanding of how these various substances behave together, an understanding that plays a fundamental role in the development of the materials that shape his visual cosmos. “Test Two” stands as a visual record of Beas’s methodical experimentation, a blend of art and scientific inquiry.
