About the Item
For the last 15 years, Falb’s primary subject matter has been light and motion from rollercoasters and fireworks. Using what would have been throw-away out-of-focus images taken while riding coasters, Falb creates meticulous oil paintings of the light flares and motion blurs captured on film. The paintings are Falb’s means of sharing the exhilaration of a moment in time and are about escaping our day-to-day reality to experience altered states of consciousness.
From the smaller intimate canvases to large immersive compositions, the paintings depict almost entirely abstracted light forms as well as the intricate structural support trusses and beams of the coasters. The effect is that of motion but also of keeping the viewer on edge - Falb tempts us with hints of recognizable elements but deftly obscures just enough to keep the viewer guessing.
For Falb, the roller coasters symbolize our ride on this planet in our physical bodies. The light represents our higher selves, our divine sparks, connected to one another in the unified field.
