Flying Over Time Collection
Duality, 24" x 18", Mixed-Media and Acrylic on Canvas with Aluminum Frame, 2010, by Nova Hall. Provenance: Original Flying Over Time Art Collection. Exhibited across all major collection tours.

Measuring 24 by 18 inches, Duality is a stark, confronting portrait heavily inspired by the polarized legacy of Charles Lindbergh. Unlike the densely collaged works in the collection, this piece relies heavily on the power of negative space. The aviator’s face is split, rendered in violent, dripping strokes of cyan, magenta, and yellow, illustrating the profound tension between light and dark, hero and villain. Framed in cold, industrial aluminum—a stark contrast to the organic, paper-crafted frames of pieces like Clearing the Trees—the artwork embraces a sterile, modern execution of Arte Povera. Finished under the direct, guiding eye of Leandro Soto, the painting is a broader commentary on the human condition: a complex, deeply misunderstood exploration of the shadows that inevitably follow those who fly too close to the sun.
