125-big-bang-1-dixon – the 4-dimensional universe squashed to 2 dimensions, creation is at the center, the present day at the edge ; This astronomical illustration visualizes the early primordial expansion of the universe, dominated by a blindingly white and yellow central singularity. Radiating outward from this concentrated energy source is a massive, circular shock front of deep red and orange cosmic fire. In the surrounding dark void, thousands of cool blue, embryonic protogalaxies or material fragments coalesce as they are propelled away from the primary explosion center. acrylic on board, 1980
