Rather than adhering to the traditional horizontal orientation of landscape painting, Graves favored a bird’s-eye view, drawing from topographical, bathymetric, and archaeological maps, as well as NASA satellite imagery. This perspective reflects a downward focal point—situating the viewer above the subject and echoing scientific modes of observation.





At the center of the composition in Discoid-Foliate is an abstracted yellow form resembling an early circuit board. Taking unconventional sources as a point of departure, Graves highlights scientific advancement—offering both a reflection on the interconnectedness of art and science, and positioning art as a lens through which to better understand the world.



This is the first time Discoid-Foliate is shown in the U.S.
