Immaculate Perception: portrait of Aldous Huxley

Steve Justice Studio Immaculate Perception: portrait of Aldous Huxley

Title: Immaculate Perception: Portrait of Aldous Huxley
Material: Oil on canvas
Size: 28×28
Year: 2016     SOLD

The purified language of science, or even the richer purified language of literature, will never be adequate to the given-ness of the world.    

– Aldous Huxley

This is simply a retelling of Huxley’s bicycle story from his book “Doors of Perception”, in as much detail and economy as 4 square feet can support.

In his story, Aldous ingests a powerful hallucinogen and mayhem ensues.  In fact, he barely made it home.

His normally black-and-white visage has here gone almost full color.  The sparkle and dazzle of the background is formed by the spokes of a bicycle wheel, and even his ever-present nerd glasses have gone two-wheeler.

Huxley also wrote “Brave New World”, which most people have never read.
