Four of a series of four. Gorgias is the author of a lost work: On Nature or the Non-Existent (also On Non-Existence). Rather than being one of his rhetorical works, it presented a theory of being that at the same time refuted and parodied the Eleatic thesis. The original text was lost and today there remain just two paraphrases of it. The first is preserved by the philosopher Sextus Empiricus in Against the Professors and the other by the anonymous author of On Melissus, Xenophanes, and Gorgias. Each work, however, excludes material that is discussed in the other, which suggests that each version may represent intermediary sources (Consigny 4). It is clear, however, that the work developed a skeptical argument, which has been extracted from the sources and translated as below: 1 - Nothing exists; 2 - Even if something exists, nothing can be known about it; and 3 - Even if something can be known about it, knowledge about it can't be communicated to others. 4 - Even if it can be communicated, it cannot be understood.

In an age of technological innovation, when the competitive flux of production has taken the place of the physical expression of one's inner universe and imaginary, and after it's obituary has been declared innumerous times over the last 150 years, painting presents itself as an act of resistance. A melancholic resistance that mirrors several times and spaces, between past and present, yet mostly, the extent of an utopian time and space: the inner time and space of its author. What room is there in the world for mystery? What language is there for a logic and wisdom that is not binary? Can we go beyond the argument? What other relationship can you have with the world besides dominance? Listening to the truth of being is the silent response to a being's calling. This silent response is found in painting.
