About The Artwork
“The Golden Ratio’s Cobweb” is part of the series “The Architect Spider” where the spider decided to homage humans. It is known that the cobwebs have already inspired mankind to build some of their projects in various scientific areas. In this series, the spider builds its webs inspired by human constructions in an ecological version. This time, it’s nature that borrows the mankind’s idea. The Golden ratio is an irrational real algebraic constant denoted by the Greek letter Φ (Phi), in honor of the sculptor Phideas, who used it as a criterion to design the Parthenon with the value rounded to three decimal places of 1,618. This Golden number has stimulated the curiosity of many mathematicians - Euclide, Fibonacci etc. - for a long time. Lots of them considered it an offer from God to the world, since it appear, as a spiral, in many things throughout in nature. That is why it is also known as divine proportion and when used in the arts - music, painting, sculpture etc. - it promotes organic and natural-looking compositions that are aesthetically pleasing to the eyes and ears. That is the reason many artists – Phideas, Leonardo da Vinci, Salvador Dali etc. - used it in their artworks. Besides all that, the architect spider knows that everything in the Universe is energetically connected and that the stars and planets seen in it that appear to be separated from one another, aren’t separeted at all. This time, she borrowed God’s idea so she build a solar system supported by a web to teaches us that everything in the Universe is connected and, the shape of the golden ration spiral figure is to remind humanity of the divine creation’s best solution, which includes aesthetic, beauty and, consequently... LOVE. The butterfly is a witness ! This artwork It’s a homage to all mathematicians and all artists across the Universe.

Brazil
Newton Rocha is a self-taught painter, born in 1968 at Recife, Pernambuco State, Brazil. Recife was built as a port city along tropical, white sand beaches lined up with palm trees, where coconut water and cactus flowers co-exist. This masterpiece of nature contradictions inspired Newton’s art as a translation of nature contrast in art form that synthesizes influences of Dali, Kandinsky, Miro and along with all his experiments and researches and creates an extemporaneous essence of art that belongs to artist himself. He depicts distorted figures and extravagant colors melted in an abstraction that insinuates the facts of his surrounding reality; regional dreams and fantasies of familiar scenes, local characters and popular events. Newton Rocha’s originality and creativity portraits the man and his roots, while at the same time projects him into the cosmos of the contemporary world with a strange mixture of strength and simplicity that makes his paintings alive with a sense of invasion in observer’s mind that confuses and resolves itself in definition. This complex ambiguity is the magic combination that best defines Newton Rocha and his art; A Man, The World and his Contradictions. Cecília Grindley. Newton Rocha currently lives in Brazil; where he continues to expand and evolve artistically.
