Entering the series ‘Universe in Perspective’ by the artist Alan Lacke is an exercise in both visual and emotional immersion. This collection invites us to explore a universe that extends beyond the obvious, where dot, perspective and colour become the fundamental axes to connect with the dimensions of the micro and macro world.
How to get into ‘Universe in Perspective’?
Universe in Perspective #1 - Understanding the narrative behind the dot
The dot is the most essential element in art, but in this series, Lacke redefines it as a character that constructs visual landscapes full of meaning. This simple element, when projected through perspective, acquires depth, movement and a symbolic dimension that challenges our perception of space. Understanding this idea is the key to immersing oneself in Lacke's proposal.
Universe in Perspective #2 - Observe the interaction between colour and planes.
Lacke uses colour not only as an aesthetic component, but as a language in itself. The layers of colour in his works are carefully differentiated to create a visual hierarchy that marks different levels of perspective. Each plane of colour introduces us to a level of the universe that the artist has constructed, inviting us to traverse it from the intimate to the infinite.

Universe in Perspective #3 - Reflecting on perspective as a concept
In ‘Universe in Perspective perspective is not just a technical resource, but a metaphor that alludes to the relationship between the elements of nature and our perception as observers. To enter this series, we must stop being spectators and begin to interact mentally with the works, imagining how our own points of view influence the way we interpret our surroundings.
Universe in Perspective #4 - Connecting with the macrocosm and the microcosm
The series is inspired by both the vast dimensions of the universe and the minute details of nature. Each work invites us to discover these contrasts and to feel the intrinsic connection between the small and the immense. The key is to open our minds to find these parallels in everyday life.
Universe in Perspective #5 - Let yourself be carried away by contemplation
Finally, ‘Universe in Perspective’ is an experience that requires time. Contemplating the works unhurriedly, allowing the dots, lines and layers of colour to tell their story, is essential to fully enter this universe.
The pause as a bridge to understanding
Alan Lacke offers us an invitation to rethink our way of seeing and understanding art and the world. ‘Universe in Perspective’ is not only observed; it is experienced, felt and, above all, interpreted from a personal connection with the immensity of the universe that dwells both inside and outside of us.
