Body Worlds 3: The Thinker | Art E. Rial

Image by ocean.flynn
How do we know the truth in an uncertain world? Hamlet lost himself in anguished thoughts about the presence of absence of the spiritual in the physical. Holding Yorick’s skull in his hand he is reminded of the recent ghostly apparition and ponders deeply about the possibility of ever truly understanding anything in this confusing world. Hamlet sought revenge for the murderer of the king, his father — Claudius. Hamlet agonized, “To be or not to be” expressing his fear of the consequences and the moral dilemma that prevents action.

The inventor-artist-scientist-technician behind Body Worlds is Gunther Von Hagens whose life work is to carry on the tradition of Renaissance anatomists. He uses contemporary technologies for teaching, learning and research about the miracle of the human anatomy. He situates each display as sensitively as possible by referring to archetype poses from canonical works of visual arts and literature.

The figure I was drawing is composed almost completely of the arterial system, reminiscent of brightly coloured coral or intricate lace work. The structure of the the bones remains visible but this is clearly a story about the river of life, our life line. The brain is particularly rich in vessels reminding us of the Artist Who wove such a life form and the intense activity in the site of our ability to perceive, to remember, to know and even to emote and to feel . . .

The thinker is in deep thought as he holds this precious element of life in his hands. It is placed on a glass-topped table which reminds us of a 17th century cabinet of curiosities, where objects became exotic because of the way in which they were framed.

I completed this 6.5" x 8" Pentil 0.5mm drawing just before closing time in less than an hour. As part of the agreement on Drawing and Sketching inside the exhibition I am making this available to both Science World in Vancouver, BC and the Institute for Plastination in Heidelberg, Germany.
