The Geometrical Ball is an ode to the classical 32-panel (20 hexagons and 12 pentagons) pattern recognized by young and old across the world as a soccer ball. The pattern is referred to as the truncated icosahedron, the best known of the 13 geometric structures (Archimedean solids) defined and documented over 2000 years ago by Archimedes, the Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. The picture also celebrates Eigil Nielsen, the Danish national team goalkeeper and founder of the SELECT ball company, who first introduced the truncated icosahedron to the world of soccer, and it acknowledges the discovery on Earth and in interstellar space of the “soccer ball molecule” (Carbon-60) at a scale 275 millions times smaller than a size 5 soccer ball. The artwork is mixed-media on canvas and measures 127cm x 127cm (50” x 50”).
