Vein of World

Vein of World transports the viewer to an alien landscape where lifeforms and infrastructure are one and the same. In this surreal oil painting by Glenn Gordon, a serpentine, plant-like conduit coils through unfamiliar terrain—its organic structure pulsating like a lifeline across a strange planet. The atmosphere is electric with color and movement: crystalline skies fracture above twisted flora and barren ridges, suggesting a world governed by forces beyond our understanding.

This original 1986 work invites contemplation of a universe where even the land breathes, thinks, and connects through living systems. With abstract, evocative brushwork and a fusion of sci-fi and fantasy aesthetics, Vein of World is both a visual escape and a quiet challenge to imagine what lies beyond the limits of Earthbound perception.
