Michael Schultheis

Likening his canvas to a chalkboard, artist and mathematician Michael Schultheis creates paintings consisting of layers of mathematical notations and illustrations that describe the form and motion of three-dimensional geometric shapes.

Artist’s Statement:

These paintings chronicle my thoughts on the visually curious and precarious moment just before two tangent curves separate, when the Tusi couple becomes a deltoid, and the maple seed opens.
