About the Item

"System II" is an original painting with circular gestures in a range of greens on an ultramarine blue background that has a subtle labyrinthine pattern. Circles and lines have the power to suggest perpetual motion, energy, and stasis. Artist Paula Cahill explores circles in relation to line as a means way to express their complex physical properties and philosophical underpinnings. Extending infinitely to the past and future, line forms the basis of not only circles, but our personal realities. The circle is recognized for its beauty and metaphorically stands in for infinity and the cyclical nature of life. Drawn to the beauty and balance of the circle, Cahill expresses its powers of movement, forward and backward, as well as stasis, or the ability to spin in place. To Cahill, this represents the path of life and progress: forward, backward, and sometimes standing still, but never ending. This painting is signed on the back. It comes complete with all necessary hardware and is ready to install. No need to frame. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Cahill pursued an education in the arts after relocating to the Philadelphia area. She studied the figure for many years before transitioning to complex, abstract paintings. Her paintings are exhibited in the U.S. and have garnered regional awards including "Best of Show" in the "Celebration of Life" exhibit at the Perelman Center, and honorable mentions at Goggleworks and the Abington Art Center. Cahill's paintings are held in private, public, and corporate collections including Temple University, Capital One, and PNC Bank Corporation. Her studio is located in Philadelphia, PA.
