Dissolution of the Soul in the Universal Web (1), Circa 2026

Jono Sugiartono  

Presence 5 — Being and Nothingness

Every presence belongs to a greater whole.

In Universal Web, Jono Sugiartono creates a richly layered space where celestial forms and flowing connections share the same pictorial field. Rounded shapes appear across passages of midnight blue, burgundy, turquoise and green, while yellow, cream and pink introduce points of illumination.

Fine lines stretch between these presences. Some trace broad arcs; others converge into a concentrated network near the centre. Their movement establishes the painting's rhythm, drawing distant forms into a continuous exchange.

The relationship between line and texture gives the work its distinctive character. Delicate strands travel across areas of dense, visibly worked paint. Soft circular forms meet irregular material passages, allowing the composition to move between atmospheric depth and tactile immediacy.

Working with glass dust and acrylic on canvas, Sugiartono connects this material diversity with his vision of a universe held together by relationships. Stars, planets and energy become images of a shared existence, woven into a unity that extends beyond what the eye can perceive.

Universal Web forms part of Presence 5 — Being and Nothingness, subtitled Returning to the One Source. The artist's statement describes existence as a movement from origin through unfolding and transformation, followed by a return to silence. Within this cycle, disappearance becomes another state of being.

Here, that reflection takes the form of an intricate network. Each rounded presence retains its own character, yet the connecting lines make its relationship with the whole visible. The painting invites sustained looking, revealing new pathways through its layered colours and interwoven gestures.
