MARKO STOUT

New York City 2022-  Marko Stout’s newest series, "Infinite Orbs" will premiere at Kate Oh Gallery in New York City this coming Fall. These pieces are awe-inspiring and look incredible, also the artist has announced this will be the first of three installments- with others to be exhibited in Miami and Berlin later next year. 

The darkness is pregnant with orbs of light, an infinite number of them, each one gleaming and shining brightly- each one unique, yet all so similar. It's an unexplained magical sight. They gleam and shimmer, an infinite number of them, sustaining and lighting up the enveloping blackness. Orbs of light gleam in the darkness, appearing infinite. Every time you turn, there's another one to catch your eye. They provide just enough light to see by, but not enough to fully illuminate the way.

I've always been captivated by Orbs; they continue living inside my imagination because there's something so fascinating about these spiritual objects that have captured people’s fancy through generations and now including myself. The glowing orbs that hover above or around figures are often seen as a sense of wonder and mystery. They have long been associated with spirituality, otherworldly realms, but most importantly- they continue to capture our imaginations in ways only an orb can do so beautifully.

Often depicted as a perfect circle, the orb represents unity, wholeness, and infinity. Orbs continue to inspire feelings of wonderment and awe. A symbol of hope and transformation. They are mystical symbols of protection and guidance seen as messengers from the divine realm, carrying messages of love and hope. They can be seen as floating balls of light that represent the journey of the soul and the interconnectedness of all life. Orbs often represent of the sun and moon, symbolizing the cycle of life and death. They are also the eye of a god watching over and protecting humanity or perhaps the eye of the artist observing his subject. 

The imagination is captivated by these floating lights, and they continue to inspire us. Orbs are enigmatic. They mesmerize us with their mysteries – and the imagination is captured by their unending potential. Orbs of light float in the air, casting a spell of wonder emanating an otherworldly glow, drawing you in.
