Thaddeus Beal left the practice of law in the mid 1980s and went to art school as an antidote.
Postmodernism - newly arrived in Boston - was the last thing a recovering lawyer needed.
After a brief stint as an abstract expressionist, he abandoned self - referential narrative and turned to the infinite.
He immersed himself in non - linear physics and a search for wholeness that is always on the lookout for beauty.
