The Theory of Evolution Series
© J.P. Bell
​​This series explores the journey of humanity and creativity, using biomorphic forms to bridge Darwin's ideas on human evolution with the evolution of art - from realism to the abstract and conceptual. It reflects the growth of philosophical thought and creative expression, mirroring how both art and human understanding continuously transform.​​
