Tiles of Paradox (Paradox and the Human Learning)

Rating:
Summary: Painting a philosophy
Review: Knowing that we live in more of a visual than textual culture, Copernicus again takes on painting. Having won a grant from the Iowa Arts Council, Copernicus again created 170 ceramic painted tiles, collectively called Tiles of Paradox on the Wall of Possibilities in Adrian's Garden. Truth is an open system; this is its iconography. Almost all the tiles in the collection are described here by the author/painter. In the exhibition, some of the titles and painter's intent were censored. Here they are not. The book directs you to a website of the tiles so you may look at them as you read the book. Beautiful art with the profundity of Socrates and the innocence of a child.
