Particle Point Collisions 9.10.21 © Jim Holl 2021, oil on board 60" x 60" inches
Jim Holl
“The discovery of the new Higgs Boson particle on July 4, 2012 was made by shooting protons near the speed of light around the Large Hadron Collider and measuring what happened when they collided. The collisions produce electromagnetic particle showers that create light. These particle points cannot be seen but the traces of their trajectories can be measured. These traces are the subject of my paintings. All of the particle points—quarks, electrons, neutrons—are the beginning of nature’s consolidation of energy into matter."
