About the Exhibition: 

Cyclical Snakes and Infinite Inward is a collection of paintings that bridge 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional planes through symbolism, color and movement that evoke a reconciliation of the schism in the collective consciousness. Gillan’s paintings serve as a beacon of inner transformation, in hopes of dissolving the illusion of separation while illuminating connection..

His work explores a duality that mirrors a fundamental paradigm of the human mind, reflecting the reciprocal nature of reality, where inner worlds shape the outer. It suggests a fluid exchange between dimensions of experience, where higher forces may both rise from within and descend from above.

About the Artist: 

Travis Gillan is a Colorado-based visual artist whose work is rich with layered symbolism, each piece unfolding like a meditation. Gillan’s work offers deeper insights into the nature of human consciousness and glimpses of what may lie beyond.. The conceptual rigor of the work is grounded in a meticulously balanced synthesis of form and opulent color harmony. Each composition reflects a deliberate orchestration of chromatic nuance and structural precision, revealing a thoughtful interplay between surface and depth. Through his use of flat, saturated shapes that intersect with volumetric forms and generate a visual tension that both collapses and expands the perceived dimensional field.
