<p>Over the last eight years Joseph Park has inserted a radical chapter to the timeless tradition of oil painting. Inspired by a J.G. Ballard story, and a tongue-in-cheek attitude toward the art's world's predilection for defined historical movements, Park developed an adjustable, custom-made easel, began studying fractals, crystal formation theory, and the permeating reality of pixels today, and from those elements formed Prizmism. Drawing inspiration from his painterly ancestors, as well as photography and sculpture, he has explored Prizmism through portraits, figures and a completed cycle shown at Elizabeth Leach Gallery in 2012 that is dazzling in its narrative, color, and surface. This is the first major monograph of Park's paintings, and focuses solely on this innovative endeavor.</p>

<p>The book's title speaks to many frequencies of equal intensities; the author is also sensitive to the phrase's colloquial association with drowning out the fragmentation and cultural distance permeating the United States today. Many forms of art, including music and photography, offer a platform for commonality; Ralph Gibson's succinct introduction places these two related art forms in context in Diamond's work. Through the high-key light permeating much of his way of seeing, complemented in the extreme by his attention to gestures in the shadows of the night, Diamond fosters a brief connection between the world, himself, and the viewer through each carefully composed frame.</p>
