Split Infinity copyright 2011 by Dave Putnam


After the Miracle of Hope Paintings, which dealt with biology, I became interested in combining art and science. The greatest scientific event ever was the Big Bang. Prior to the Big Bang, everything that would become the universe was compressed into an infinitely small point or singularity. Somehow something or someone (God) split the singularity, which triggered the Big Bang. Some of the first particles created were photons. While this was happening somebody may have muttered, "Let there be light." In any case, infinity was split and if anybody was around to see it there was a light show. In this painting I am trying to depict that light show.
