<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The work you have submitted for this assignment
appears to be of a similar standard to your previous assignment, which
demonstrated an effective grasp of ideas and also showed creativity,
experimentation and that you are articulate and self- aware <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>in
terms of theoretical understanding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The assignment however does not give enough visual evidence
in terms of the impact on the viewer and it is difficult to determine scale in
relation to the environment and the viewer. There are also lots of implicit references,
which are good, but also some very obvious references to the work of other artists,
which borders on the predictable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I emphasized ‘appears’ in my overall comments
because your blog is a little inadequate as far as evidence of your practice is
concerned. I was refused access to your Witches Wood blogspot so I cannot
comment on the work here. I also thought the images for your final project were
not clear enough and did not show enough of the spatial environment (room
space) and how the work impacted on this environment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Your
blog demonstrated your reasoning and self reflection very well especially in
terms of conceptual understanding. Therefore I have had to go by your blog for
this assignment because of the nature of what you refer to as your<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“ object” work and evaluating this has been
difficult because the reproductions on your blog are not that clear enough. I
think you should have sent me some photographs for this assignment and I would
advise that you do this as evidence of Assignment 5, for assessment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Your
combining objects and images work has worked quite well and the influences in
the work are clear. You also describe your intentions fairly clearly in your
blog. I would have liked to see more of the environment in your photographs to
get an idea of scale and impact on space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Your
Diorama/ tableaux work has a clear Dadaist/conceptual focus and the gender
references (rather than the feminist references) are quite effective. You have
also sited the influences from Duchamp, Martha Rosier, Cindy Sherman and Jeff
Koons. However I think that your work has more in common with multi references
that are in the dioramas of Joseph Bueys or Marcel Dzama.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The
same can be said of your final project work, which takes its influences clearly
from Cornelia Parker, Kiefer and Stockholder.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-ms-layout-grid-mode: char; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">There
is some interesting use of metal, micro line and graffiti. This also emphasizes
the different use of space in relation to planes of the metal objects, objects
in space and wall mark making. However the importance of scale and dynamics of
space is not clear from the images in the blog.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

there are still too much emphasis on concept, making and theory and not enough
importance given to the context of space and design. </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

of research and your argument, which is both articulate and self-aware. I would
have liked to see more references to outside influences such as changes in
society, multicultural influences and how perception is changing because of
access to technology. The bombardment of all our senses by such a variety of
influences means that the divisions in discipline are no longer valid. Artists
are responding to this in artworks that include sound, smell, physical
experience etc. There is also no mention of the digital revolution and how
artists are synthesizing digital technology into all aspects of drawing, painting,
installation and performance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

superficial and as an example, I reference your comments on Daniel Buren’s work,
which shows that you need to do more in-depth research.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #535353; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">“Buren
uses stripes as a neutral symbol in his sculpture, installing his art in and
around Paris during the 60s. He was commissioned to use striped columns
at the 2012 Monumenta festival in Paris. The latest installation at the
Grand Palais has disks of plastic colours that fill the space and are mirrored
from below. I personally don’t find his work rewarding because I don’t
get any message, and like others think it is repetitive, but he is regarded as
France’s most important living artist.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">You need to understand that Buren’s work originates
from Institutional Critique paralleling the urban guerrilla tactics of the
Situationists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The work challenges the
power of the gallery and the museum making the observer aware that his
trademark stripes can be taken out of the gallery and on to the street. - so
they can appear on a passing bus or on a bus seat or even on boat sails on Lake
Grasmere in the Lake District (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Voile/Toile

Critique and increase your understanding.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The weakest areas of your work mainly relate to
quality of outcome and context, which are variable at this level of study. Your
demonstration of creativity and of technical and visual skills is of a
competent to very competent standard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Your application of knowledge, coherence and
discernment needs more thought and development and quality of outcome needs to
marry up to reflection, research and contextual relevance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
marrying up of context needs to underpin the sense of purpose in your work. The
work you have submitted for this assignment and earlier work comes across as
imaginative and experimental which is a good thing. However the work often
lacks substance because in some instances you are not necessarily understanding
or fulfilling the brief. I will explain this in reference to your specific assignment
projects as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">The painted element is tenuous here and although
the content of the images works well as far as design, composition and
invention are concerned you have missed the point of the exercise. You are
still working within the format of the rectangular frame and have not grasped
the point of the project to work within a shaped format. You must link the
research to this –e.g. the purpose behind Stella or Kelly’s work to make
paintings into objects that relate to room space and the proportional response
of the viewer to the object within the space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">This is a much more relevant response to the
exercise and the political references are good. I wondered though if you had
thought about aspects of the interruption of the picture plane and low relief?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">You have used the frame well as a way of dividing
content and meaning here and I think you have successfully combined symbolic
meaning with function.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">There are lots of good things here with references
to Cornell and symbolic meaning. However the functional process of framing
within a box environment is not discussed – why are you creating this
environment and are you considering composition and the relationship of object
to enclosed space?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

imaginative, often lead your work but you are not responding to considerations
related to restatement, chance or even changes in direction relating to
construction and composition<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">This is another instance where your idea dominates
the proceedings and you do not take into account why you found it difficult to
translate the Malevich sketches into 3D. You do not consider the Suprematists
references to the ground as infinity, the symbolism of the icon or the dynamics
of composition. The three dimensional realization therefore gets side tracked
by considerations of the making and the application of media or colour.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

my advice about making your journey more coherent and your self-reflection more
explicit. I think you also need to stand back and look at the continuum and
origins of appropriated and displaced images. You are correct in exploring the
message related to political and social conditions but you should also
recognize that Post Modernism is still harping back to the disruption in
society through the ravages of two World Wars and the origins of appropriation
and displacement from Dada, Cubism and Surrealism continue to underpin
contemporary practice. I would suggest that your references to photography
should also be strengthened and there is no harm in looking back to the work of
John Heartfield or the emphasis on structure and spirituality that pervades
David Bomberg’s work as well as more contemporary artists and photographers
such as Tacita Dean.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I still find that there is rather too much visual
information, which drowns the instinctive need of your viewer to find structure
and coherence. Composition in the second study in particular is clumsy and
rather obvious. However preliminary studies should be searching and should show
that you are working out ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The first large painting by contrast is probably the
best image in this assignment and is more ordered in structure with a broad
grid-like control of imagery. The frames are also not too rigid so that the eye
explores and scans the surface and finds the traces of the journey narrative
that your are describing. The overall impression is of more control and less
cluttered in imagery. I think the idea of journey is working well and the
limited colour sections are effective. I think that there are also
contradictions here between the physical surface and illusion. The black tends
to flatten the image so that we scan it horizontally from left to right yet we
are supposed to be led out into space at the top right edge of the painting. I
suspect that you had not taken this factor on board and that this is largely an
intuitive accident.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The second painting about hanged teenagers in
Pakistan does not have the impact or the contrasts of your first painting. We
are again confronted by a certain amount of ‘visual fuss’, which interferes
with what could have been an interesting structural image. The mixed images
that you are pleased with actually interfere with the overall impact (or
possible impact of this image). The image is dominated by the vertical strips
of shredded paper that play across the surface of the support – and are in
themselves, a good idea. However the horizontal broken counter lines are not
strong enough to counter this and the eye is pulled down and out of the image.
Nor is the colour contrast, which could have helped to define and contrast
areas of importance on the image on the image. Background, middle ground and
subject therefore collide and send out a confused message for your viewer. You
need to stand back and look hard, re-emphasize areas in the structure, colour
and imagery in order to make this an effective image.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The final blue painting works better in reproduction

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Myriad Pro","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The blues are not the blues of water, which would
have been more tonal and grey – so the viewer does not read the colours as that
of water. The most interesting and dominating part of the painting is the
ripples, which could also be vapor trails in the sky rather than water (and
would make sense of the butterfly). Again, the opportunity to enhance structure
has been lost by application and overworking detail. The structure could have been
more of a vortex, which would have made sense of the figures being sucked into
it. The shapes of the dresses on the figures are too strong and the shapes read
as hands (the heads of the figures are not strong enough) to me, the viewer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I made a point in my overview about continuum and context. Do look at other
influences from photography –also do not discount earlier influences – look at
how Malevich<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(for example) drew
inspiration from the poses of renaissance artists in his final portraits – also
how Bomberg drew inspiration for his Toledo landscapes from El Greco –relate
the contemporary to wider aspects of current affairs and the continuum of
experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

good start to the course with some paintings that are showing promise and
potential. You seem to be very confident with construction and I am impressed
with the amount of work you have produced in your sketchbooks and log book.
There is already evidence of creativity and I like your open, experimental
approach which is helping to develop your ideas and concepts – There are some
issues with strength of design, use of colour and more critique rather than
description in the logbook but I can only see that you have the potential to do
well on this course.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that you are doing this course with the intention of aiming for the degree in
Painting/Creative Arts. I am also aware that you are using the OCA website and
hopefully contributing to the forums. It is also important that you
occasionally post work on the site for comments by your student peers and gauge
your work against that of other students on the same course. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

also look at the summary of Assessment guidelines and ensure that you are aware
of the standards expected. Also make full use of the student resources on the
OCA website, look out for recommended exhibitions to visit and consider
attending Study Days. The use of the resources and the attendance at Study days
will help to improve your approach to your online blog and sketchbooks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

can you ensure that your proposal includes your name and student number and
that you include details of your blog address with your assignment. I had to

request that you follow OCA advice and send your work in a plastic or
polypropylene portfolio A2 that is lighter and save on postage. This can be
sent without wrapping as long as you seal over the clips with strong parcel
tape. Many students send their work to me now by this method and it works well.
You can choose to send work by parcel post, signed delivery or parcel force as
long as the weight is less than 2 kilos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Competent technical and visual skills, a
competent realization of ideas, presented well showing judgment. There is a
reasonably effective grasp of ideas and communication of visual concepts. There

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">If we then look at your physical texture
piece, which is a very good start, we are given the message you intend –that of
a distorted visage of a corpse that has been tortured and sacrificed. This has
archeological connotations (context) which link back to not only the
sacrificial images of Peru but also (closer to home), that of the peat bog
sacrifices in Ireland and Denmark. You also mention the influence of Anselm
Keifer in terms of the colour and texture, which is good. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">However I would push you a little further in
terms of context and suggest that you look at the work of Jean Fautrier – A now
rather overlooked French painter and an exponent of Tachisme whose paintings
and sculptures in the hostage series reflect the experience he had of being
captured by the Gestapo and hearing the tortured cries of their victims<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The design of the image works quite well in
that the incline and twisted nature of the cloth and heavy impasto emphasize
distortion and writhing pain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The impact of the image in terms of the use
of the colour of the materials, cloth/material tone and white impasto is good
but rather obvious. I would therefore point out that Fautrier does not have to
use blacks or obvious symbolism to convey the terror and intent in this hostage
series which are varied in colour and are highly effective symbolist works.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-hyphenate: none; mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Moving on to your second painting – the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Red Bull </i>collage – this collage has an
impact on the viewer in terms of the colour, the use of text, lettering and
numbering and the palimpsest nature of layering, which reveals and conceals.
However much of the symbols employed are not really evident until we read your
description and evaluation. I wonder therefore if some of the images of the
bull should have been made more explicit for your viewer as a focal point or
points – – Is there more concealing here than revealing here?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And this also raises a question about the
thought behind the placing of the collage – is there a plan or purpose to the
placing of letters, numbers or symbols?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I would also direct you to think about your support and the shape of
your support. Why did you use a square board for this image? Is there an
element of framing here or is the image part of something much larger? What
would be the purpose of framing this image? Could you have made the whole
support into the shape of a bull and how would that have affected the decisions
about the placing of the collage? –Think about Picasso and Braque’s original
intention when they invented collage – to break up or interrupt the picture
plane – is your image doing this or is it just a synthesis of ideas that convey
harmony rather than dystopia?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

include more critique in your logbook/blog. You have understood that the
logbook is partly a vital diary of your progress through the course, self
-appraisal/practical understanding of the course projects. However the blog
must also show evidence of continuous questioning and cognitive thought. You do
this to some extent but your approach can also become too descriptive. The
assessors want to know about process but they want to know more about your
thought process, intent and evaluation. Look at what is working in your work
and write notes about it and do the same for what is not working. Evaluate your
work in terms of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Concept</b> – the
message to your viewer –explicit or implicit – your intent – why are you doing
this piece of work and what do you want to achieve by it? Unpack your thought
process; <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Construction/composition</b> –
do the forms (figurative or abstract) look correct –is the design working? How
do the decisions and restatements you are making improve or detract from your
intent – e.g. the design emphasis and the message in the work <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Context – </b>influences from primary
sources (location, artifacts in galleries, artists work or objects, buildings
etc), secondary sources – internet, books, artists, articles,

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For me the idea of using my own
photographic images which may or may not have been enhanced and incorporating
them in my art work is an exciting way to approach art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I therefore propose for one of my large
paintings to pursue this idea and use such images in a fairly abstract way
developing the quirkiness of the image rather than its reality.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This can be achieved by enhancing, cropping,
reversing etc. in order to find images that cause one to be bemused by what
they are or were part of.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When it comes to a message I will need
to continue to think about that but I suspect it will either be political or
something to do with the lives we lead and the journeys we make emotionally and
physically or maybe a combination of the two.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Maybe even something on my mainly negative view of conceptual art,
though that may not go down well, and who knows, perhaps I will slowly be won
round.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it changed to conceptual
thinking instead of conceptual art, I might feel happier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I have never tried anything like that so will have to see how the exercises
work out but I suspect it will be nearer to my way of thinking whereas creating
a shaped painting would for me is too close to craft. I might use shredded
paper, which has often seemed to me to offer potential as an art material.
Recycling at its best!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0cm 13.4pt 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Alternatively the Multi-part image
appeals to me as it is reminiscent of Monet’s early paintings conceiving
haystacks in different lights and moods, through to Warhol’s repeated images
also Jasper John, and Sol le Witt and finally conceptual art, where the

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My
first large painting pretty well followed the idea of using found images as
collage together with some overpainting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My intention was to keep the images simple as this was something my
tutor suggested.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to use the
idea of journies and incorporated a reverse negative picture of someone driving
with a passenger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The curved shape top
left hints as distant space with small moons, i.e. the sky is the limit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did like the idea of using black and white
but with just a hint of colour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
house has a gate and someone is about to enter it on the left, suggesting an
unknown journey. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also discovered a
derelict house with blackberries actually growing inside with an old fridge and
felt this represented a sort of psychological journey a place where someone
lived and time has advanced and started to consume the space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the bottom left I used the sole of my
grandson’s shoe to represent walking. The grilled bottom right represents the
unknown journey that we all make through life. The process worked well and I
didn’t encounter any problems - if something is going to work I find this often
happens. </span></i></div>

with, but not chosen by their families. Every woman wants to look attractive as

I felt I did not have a non-visual skill set and felt inadequate for a long time, but I knew I had to "bite the bullet" so I reflected for a considerable while on possible projects. I didn't know if they were silly and a waste of time, or if I thought they may have plausibility and if they did, whether I could be successful in their rendition. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">However, the first exercise gave me a smidgen of encouragement, as I felt I had pulled together the concept and the expression of it together with subject matter that was relevant to it. It was influenced by the Jean Tinguely work illustrated in the project notes, and I was concerned that it might not look as though I had given much thought to the project because I drew upon an illustration that appeared in the notes. That would have been my only reservation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The tableaux or Diorama was interesting for me because I expanded it slightly to include text and illustration by way of a Conceptual piece, which I felt added to it as a Tableaux/Diorama. It was also light-hearted, which is something I don't often get to do in my art. It therefore offered an opportunity to create a multifaceted object with crafted apple cores; a found object in the processor and a tableaux incorporating a real life situation. I was happy with the references to Marcel Duchamp, and the Womanhouse by Robin Weltch which I felt worked really well. The idea of Work in Progress was twofold, it referenced the male/female inequalities, which are still not addressed as well as to the piece itself and I felt this was equally effective. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It would have been nice to do the bottle bank idea but I don't have a vice and workshop so wouldn't have been able to put together a frame of the sort I was planning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The limitations I professed at the outset were considerations I had to overcome by the choice of work, so my options were somewhat limited by my ability to undertake work outside of my inadequate skillset and facilities.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">As far as Witches Wood is concerned, I had this project in mind sometime ago so had been taking photographs in various weather conditions. It would have been nice to have uncovered some local history, even if it had only been anecdotal, but my research didn't come up with anything. However, with the link to the Witch-finder General it begs the question and leaves it to the viewer to speculate the existence of the wood.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The final project didn't quite end up as my proposal but metal was the material that persuaded me to pursue the Final Project. I had been reading some Philosophy on the subject of the cosmological argument, which is always very interesting hence the subject matter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The tying of various pieces of metal with micro thin line was a test in itself and the small pieces of rock were the most difficult. I had to glue the line to them before tying them as the line kept slipping off. I was also slightly uncomfortable with defacing the wall of my studio with the graffiti, it was similar to how I felt when painting the frame in an earlier project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I think there is a lot of scope with 'objects' that I hadn't previously realized. Indeed the whole idea was completely alien to me, but with the right tools and facilities I can see that this would merit further exploration. Scale is one of the things that is difficult to achieve for the same reasons, and I feel the success of a work is dependent on or constrained by matters relating to this issue. For example one can imagine Space and Time being exhibited in a gallery space with much larger elements but pragmatically up-scaling equals commercial support both financially and with appropriate equipment and labour. Such up-scaling would give the piece more gravitas which may be missing in my attempt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I could have tried to sculpt Einstein's equation from polystyrene but it would have required a hot knife. I tried with an ordinary blade but I could see it would not work, then I thought that using the wall itself in a graffiti style would add to the piece, by bringing it into the modern world of art. Using spray cans on a large wall would be great. I am thinking of a space similar to that used in John Ahearn's Homage to the People of S. Bronx.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I am still hoping to get some hands for my 'Time-piece', and will have to see what might be available at a car boot sale.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Despite the trepidation with which I started this assignment I feel I have achieved more than I expected.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331679234080045795.post-55260290421216338872015-02-13T05:33:00.002-08:002015-05-08T07:25:08.352-07:00Critical Review - The Creative Process<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">INTRODUCTION</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I find myself pondering how it is
that what I consider to be the decline through the 50s and 60s of the visual
arts has come about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tendency is to apply: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>philosophical, political and social
definitions and concepts to a non-symbiotic world or discipline.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These concepts are not irrelevant but in my
view are peripheral.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In order to arrive
at a different, more accessible interpretation of the art world I consider that
not only must the language change but different perspectives are needed to add
more pertinent weight and depth to the understanding of the creative process. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Arial;">CONCEPTUAL/TRADITIONAL</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The Conceptual creative process is
almost the reverse of the traditional aesthetic approach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A concept is conceived almost as a textual
document and this equals the art, moving away from authorial ownership towards self-reflexivity
so that a work reveals the process of its own making in order to avoid the illusion
of art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, it seems to me, it is the
illusory nature of art (artifice) that opens doors to emotional reaction,
thoughts and ultimately an understanding of the work before us. Without that
imaginary veil I wonder if access to our hidden/subconscious perceptions is
limited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Would we merely perceive in a
direct retinal, or optical way minimising the artist’s psychological motivations?
In the case of conceptual art would the viewer look, see, then move on, without
being beguiled or inspired? Conceptualism appears a cold methodical way of
working that has little in common with the ethos of art as an emotionally rewarding
activity for the spectator, or does it offers more, a ‘mind mapped’ view of our
world? Greenberg says <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“The essence of
Modernism lies ...in the use of characteristic methods of a discipline to
criticize the discipline itself – not in order to subvert it, but to entrench
it more firmly in its area of competence”</span><a href="file:///C:/Users/Silvia/Documents/00.OCA/Dissertation.2.The%20Creative%20Process.doc#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: blue;">[1]</span></span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is it that the engagement of the viewer is no
longer important, or does the viewer need to become more informed? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Conceptual artistic value is difficult to
interpret and award; the hard work has to be done by the spectator from very
little by way of visual clues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">To compare the thought process
between these two approaches would be interesting but I am insufficiently
familiar with the conceptual approach. However, I will do my best to outline my
personal method and try to assess where the conceptual artist might digress.</span></div>
<o:p><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></o:p><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">CREATIVE PROCESS</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">How does the creative process begin?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is my brief, speculative interpretation
and is probably far from the truth. Benjamin and Adorno viewed artwork “as the
space in which the experience of thought can be exposed to its own
potentialities, contradictions, and conditions of possibility”</span><a href="file:///C:/Users/Silvia/Documents/00.OCA/Dissertation.2.The%20Creative%20Process.doc#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: blue;">[2]</span></span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would venture to say that is a pretty good
description of the brain.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It seems to me that an initial
“idea” a sort of spark is triggered in the brain probably by some
electro-chemical mechanism, possibly called a neuron, which lights up like a
small starburst – a “flash” of inspiration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is interesting here to compare a starburst with similar images,
explosions, the big bang, starlight, cancer cells, nuclear fission, sparks;
they all have some sort of nucleus with emanations leading off in diverse directions,
and are associated with creation or destruction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">THE CREATIVE THOUGHT (IDEA)</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">However, returning to the “idea”
-<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>pathways whiz off to various other
networks triggering all sorts of related ideas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For the sake of clarity, the example “idea” is that of the bull (which
has featured in a recent painting).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
“bull” has lit up somewhere in my cerebral cortex (?) That thought triggers all
sorts of other ideas and now sparks are firing in all directions: Spain,
Picasso, bull fights, birth sign, strength, stamina, black, horns, smell,
danger, bulk, death; <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the neural pathways
are alive with activations that are spreading further and further a field,
colour – red, black, texture, Guernica, fear.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yet this all takes place in split seconds, and is not defined by any
language easily transmitted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
conceptual artist is probably stimulated by different things at this stage,
probably from his left brain.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Wittgenstein</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Ref398641056"></a><a href="file:///C:/Users/Silvia/Documents/00.OCA/Dissertation.2.The%20Creative%20Process.doc#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3;" title=""><span style="mso-bookmark: _Ref398641056;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: blue;">[3]</span></span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Ref398641056;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> says that Expression depends on idea
of intention to express a meaning, this will or intent comes before verbal or
visual consolidation and is therefore internal and private to ourselves but
unknown to others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He goes on to say
that a word’s meaning is established in its use and that words become a sort of
language game, they are learned and practiced interpersonally and gain credence
and meaning in that way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He therefore
asserts that private expressions make no sense as they cannot be
articulated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In semantic terms, I feel
he conflates “words” with” ideas” in the term ‘expression’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ideas can be expressed visually even without a
meaningful linguistic vocabulary to express these private thoughts. It is
through the process of shared visual symbols that the viewer might experience mutual
understanding. The Jungian subconscious springs to mind. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I assume conceptual artists will experience
academic and linguistic thoughts relating to his project. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Back to my “idea” lighting up the circuitry of
my brain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This thought has to be
realized in some way so I invent the simulacrum of a canvas support in my brain
where I might attach the “idea” of a bull.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The move towards actual realization is probably occurring in a different
part of my brain, it feels different, it feels more substantive, less
shadowy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am still being bombarded with
distant links, I recall witnessing a bullfight, I think of my Spanish holidays,
and I am reminded that Taurus is my birth sign. My thoughts are going off-piste,
I have to control and guide them towards the prospect of creating a painting.
With these sub-thoughts appended to the main “idea” I have to find a way of
making choices, or will my brain do that for me?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Will the low light starbursts disappear off
the radar leaving a manageable number of selections from which to choose or am
I focusing on the more interesting/relevant elements?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t know.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, my library, which will be unique to me, will have similarities
by way of Platonic “forms” (for want of a better description) in other people’s
minds, and this, I conjecture, is why generic symbols are ubiquitous. The
conceptual approach might be similar though the personal library could be quite
different.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">

<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">BUILDING BLOCKS (Referential Hooks)</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">There are timeless conventional
building blocks used in the creation of a painting, and regardless of the
desire by some contemporary artists to shun their worthiness, they remain
valid, i.e. colour, composition, texture, media, support, perspective (?),
certainly in terms of a painting, maybe not so much for an installation and
conceptual art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are inevitable
functions of the creative process, which at least Francois Morellet</span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Ref398641218"></a><a href="file:///C:/Users/Silvia/Documents/00.OCA/Dissertation.2.The%20Creative%20Process.doc#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn4;" title=""><span style="mso-bookmark: _Ref398641218;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: blue;">[4]</span></span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Ref398641218;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">, painting in the 50s did
acknowledge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I am ignoring chance
and probability.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is this something that
needs to go into the mix or by its intrinsic nature will it occur anyway? I
think the latter, as one can never have total control over one’s work and
neither would it be desirable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So this
part of the process is relatively easy, colour I know should be red.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have been studying Klein’s monochromes so
that confirms my decision.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bull
happens to be my star sign and now I am thinking of my birth-date and rendering
letters and numbers, texture has to be relatively flat but interesting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another lot of starbursts as further
possibilities come to mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also think
about the Guernica bull and how I might incorporate that and the photograph of
a bull taken in Spain.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">These ideas are now cohering on my
mental canvas and are arranging themselves but they are still in a state of
flux.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How do I achieve a balance (i.e.
composition), is it desirable?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If not,
what attribute replaces it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Indeed, is
an alternative necessary?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find it
difficult to grasp the idea of something being cogent and mindfully constructed
yet relying on effects engendered entirely by random chance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My thoughts vacillate, as random elements
have an appeal, much as automatism appealed to the Surrealists, and Abstract
artists relied on its magic too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These
thoughts I sense will only become manifest when I begin work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shall I use collage? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want the look of torn posters and I have a
photograph of some worn, torn posters of Queen on a wall in Spain, I’ll print
those and use them as collage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the
support, I will use hardboard, without gesso and I’ll scribe it with a knife to
add texture, the blade that kills the bull.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My thoughts are emerging, coalescing into the visual realization of my
initial “idea”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am nearly in clear air
where the actual work can begin. </span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I have done the mind work, the real
work will involve taking decisions but most will be instinctive rather than
worked out pragmatically, because for me that is where the creative energy
takes over, working both internally and externally, which is what I believe
Jackson Pollock and others have meant by being “in” the painting.</span><a href="file:///C:/Users/Silvia/Documents/00.OCA/Dissertation.2.The%20Creative%20Process.doc#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn5;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: blue;">[5]</span></span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;">
The “idea” is conceived in the mind and is shuffled off the simulacrum canvas
only to emerge on to the real canvas yet somehow the mental thought processes
continue to inhabit it, so that the two canvases seem to converge in an
indefinable way. The eventual outcome evolves in unpredictable ways, because
the control mechanisms of the mind are somehow sublimated to the creative
process itself.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The real empty support is in front
of me. I now have to assimilate some sort of order to my thoughts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, I scribe the hardboard with a
knife.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fontana, left it there and
submitted slashed canvases for his artwork.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I will go further. I will use little texture but need to sink some
colour into the surface as it will be very absorbent without gesso.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I apply red acrylic paint and texture it with
a brush, cling film and impasto.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s
good enough as a monochrome right now, interesting surface on which to work. I
think about the collage element:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>photos
of some red peppers (implying intestines), photos of Freddie Mercury,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a photo of a bull construction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I work freely, the bull will dominate and I add
collage that will work as a Bull’s eye.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I stencil my birthday in individual letters and mix them up creating “I
am” Descarte’s expression, as well as “i bull”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I continue staining the collage and adding black to give more contrast. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I make marks with oil pastel, and add pastel
powder for texture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once “in the zone”
or “in the painting” ideas keep coming and I am balancing the painting, adding
collage, paint and texture gradually building up the whole thing until it
becomes a harmonious coherent piece of work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">BETTER FUTURE UNDERSTANDING</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">If a discussion of the creative
process leads to better understanding then we will have an improved experience
of the art world. It will enliven and deepen our interpretation of works of art
hopefully encouraging a wider, younger audience. Process Art reveals rather
than conceals, but does it ‘throw the baby out with the bath water’ by
eliminating artifice?</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">With artists like Grayson Perry </span><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03969vt"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03969vt</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>we are being introduced to more interesting
exhibits that amuse as well as excite the viewer, and through his Reith
Lectures during October 2013, it is clear he is in the vanguard of a more
positive validation of art appreciation.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Perhaps the timeless “building
blocks “ are back, and with them the creative process, works that give appeal
to the eye and the mind - we may no longer be corralled into black corridors
looking and listening to digits and text, mirrors and sounds,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>thinking: what am I supposed to be thinking? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The work represents time and space and can be read as a diptych, triptych or as individual pieces.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Taking the piece on Space, I am connecting not only the subject matter within a spacial area but the concept of traditional painting by relating it back to the wall by following the conventional practice of hanging paintings on the wall. At the same time I am projecting it forward into observable space, suggesting the idea of making art part of the gallery space not merely adhered or appended to it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The canvas takes the idea of Kiefer's work on space using real diamonds to depict the planets and stars. In this case I have represented stars and planets by rhinestones, glitter and painted pieces of rock to represent meteors. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The metal bar from which the metal objects are suspended looks like Orion's belt and might be interpreted as such, its shiny surface reflects the viewer much like a mirror, suggesting self reflection, and self reflexivity. The objects are a direct inspiration from Cornelia Parker.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The next element E = mc² joins both objects i.e. Time and Space. It is painted directly on to the wall conflicting with the traditional idea of easel art, suggesting not only progress in art but progress in the space time continuum. It is presented as graffiti street art, because space is ubiquitous, and because street art is also. It hints at the fact that sadly some people populating the streets do not even have their own space. It not only connects the two main elements but could be the central motive of a triptych, its importance is worthy in its own right and philosophically would question its relevance (or relativity) in connection with religion, by being presented as a triptych.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The third element Time could be read separately - a 'Time-piece' showing the explosion or deconstruction of time, or taken in conjunction with Space when it would become an integral part of the whole. I would like to have added some hands but I haven't been able to get an old clock and as they are mostly battery operated these days so it wasn't possible to find any innards. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Throughout this particular Assignment I have consciously tried to minimalize the piece as I have a tendency to clutter. However, I want to say a lot and maybe now conceptually it has become too encumbered with conflicting meanings. But in a sense it is not for me to interpret the piece for the viewer but for the viewer to find these things or re-interpret them.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331679234080045795.post-4454042708673948672015-02-13T03:13:00.001-08:002015-05-08T07:25:49.221-07:00Witches Wood - Non-Art Space<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have used the space known as Witches Wood in my village as my non-art space and have set up a Blog to cover this work. I still have to introduce the object I propose into the wood, namely a black polystyrene bag weighted at the head and feet to represent a hanging body. Once complete I will photograph it and add it to my site. At the moment access is limited to my tutor but the site name is <a href="http://witcheswoodcsm.blogspot.co.uk/">http://witcheswoodcsm.blogspot.co.uk/</a></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331679234080045795.post-23996339973172524982015-02-13T02:59:00.000-08:002015-05-08T07:26:09.615-07:00Op Art<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Perceptual art, Op Art, Kinetic Art are all names that describe the visual art that relies on mainly black and white optical illusions as well as colour juxtaposition and contrast to create moiré, three dimensional and movement effects in paint. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It could be argued that earlier artists such as Delauney, Kandinsky and Picabia were influential in this style. Certainly Kandinsky's connection with the Bauhaus would be relevant here. Both he and Joseph Albers were teachers at that art institution, along with Paul Klee. Joseph Albers keenly investigated colour effects, minimal artists explored the effects of close colour assimilations, for example Mark Rothko, who was influenced by the German Expressionists. Joseph Albers, along with many other artists left Germany before the start of the second world war and eventually started a school in the Black Mountains College in North Carolina where he developed his ideas of contrasted and related colours and their visual effects, and painted his Homage to the Square. In 1963 he wrote Interaction of Colour. "Practical exercises demonstrate through colour deception (illusion) the relativity and instability of colour" (p. 2 Interaction of Colour, Josef Albers, Published by Yale University Press in 1963).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So too Cubism, Italian Futurism, Russian Constructivism and Dadaism were the defining roots of Op Art.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Cubism had broken planes down into cubes or squares to enable the viewer to observe more than just the front face of an object. Italian Futurism endeavoured to create movement with the help of chrono-photograpers, namely Etienne-Jules Marey who in 1882 produced sequential stills to represents the gait of animals and humans. Constructivism, also influenced by Bauhaus and De Stijl sought to develop sculpture and ultimately architecture based on the angular/geometric styles of Suprematism as practiced by Malevich. The Dadaists brought many of these controversial styles to the awareness of the public through their exhibitions, particularly Duchamp's work, which rejected capitalist ideologies in favour of irrationality. It was this that effectively enabled platform for a "new art" to become established after the horrors of the First World War. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Vorticism also played its part as it had during the war when Edward Wadsworth designed Dazzle camouflage for allied ships, thereby confusing the enemy as to the ship's speed an direction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Artists like Victor Vasarely, Georges Vantongerloo, Julio le Parc and Francois Morellet, went on to develop ideas which lead to the Op Art style of painting which was one of the signifiers of the "new art" previously mentioned. To a certain extent, in my view, it was also a means of turning away from the visual horrors of two World Wars and the political turmoil which lay behind them. The need to intellectualize and comprehend the difficult elements of the optical process effectively anaesthetized emotional responses to the still raw feelings relating to the war.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">For the second time many artists who departed Europe in the face of War decided to choose the USA as their new homes. The openness of the American way of life meant that they felt liberated emotionally and this enabled new artistic ideas to ferment and flourish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Artists like Bridget Riley, Michael Kidner, Aleksandar Srnec, and Richard Anuszkiewicz have continued to expand Op Art, however its raison d'être, rejection of emotional resonances, may well be its downfall, as it projects itself as a cold intellectual visual art.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have drawn upon the mid 20th century scope of Feminine art, which depicts the female artist as precluded from the art scene in many ways and also emphasizes the so called 'accepted role' of women in society. I do not regard myself as a feminist but I think it is true to say that things have changed very little since then. Women predominately still play the role of housewife except it is now combined with career woman or wage earner. I think she still prepares the evening meal and is prime operator of kitchen gadgets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My Diorama is based in the home, the kitchen to be precise. The reference to work in progress is threefold: the artwork is not finished; the changing role of women in society is ongoing; the use of the objects for a supposed recipe is incomplete. Hence the kitchen worktop is the appropriate place to display my object and forms part of the diorama. It is influenced by Robin Weltch's Womanhouse.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The cores themselves are also symbolic of the core of the home; the core design of the artwork, i.e. its conceptual/process nature relating to the 4 core processor; the female, who tempted Adam with an apple, and the artist, who effectively is the core processor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In fact the piece does not relate to a recipe in terms of the artwork, but to a spurious machine called a Logic Busting Image Decoder and Visualizer. It is a take on Marcel Duchamp's Large Glass and is supported by an image and text explaining its purpose. (Purpose, philosophy tells us, gives meaning to life!). The illustration is influenced by Surrealism.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sculptural quality of the apple cores is influenced by Claes Oldenburg and the overall idea to various conceptual artists including Martha Rosler, Cindy Sherman and Jeff Koons</span><br />

The known nutritional properties of beans are incomparable
to their mind enhancing capabilities and it is the latter which are exploited
in this revolutionary process. The beans
provide the “wind of change” which in turn has a astonishing affect, bringing
about a mind altering state after being filtered through white coral (now dead)
representing the cerebral four core processor running at 10,000 Mhz with a
capacity of approximately 500 Terrabites.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The mollusc (of Divine Proportions) which lies beneath is
sited next to the unseen “Pits” or Pituitary Gland (to give it is correct
term), which like many glands occasionally “weeps” or “swells” depending on the
ambient air temperature. The position of
the mollusc is therefore somewhat unstable as a consequence but due to its
delicate nature cannot be affixed to the Cerebellem (white coral) due to the
metallic third harmonic thrige resonances
and resistances of the crown wheel and pinion appended to it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A fly wheel mechanism obviates any major dislocations but no
device has yet been introduced to prevent shells from dropping. Passers by are therefore recommended to wear
protective clothing as the blast capabilities may well surpass the design
parameters specified for the “wind of change” for which the mollusc was
intended.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This briefly outlines the initial Logic Busting Mechanism,
which, as can be seen ensures that any prevaricating logic or skeptisim about obscure
and difficult images is easily irradicated by its employment. The viewer is
immediately transported by the fly wheel into a different world of engagement.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The process is not without hazard, as already mentioned
above, and one can see that the fly wheel itself is a precarious travel process
who’s only recovery modes (in the event of accident) are the’ Identified
Floating Saucers’ and’ Box Under the Sea’ (IFs and BUTs) which shadow its
progress. By their very nature these are not secure Thought Recovery Vehicles,
so caution is advised before reading the above.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
PS The fly wheel is occasionally “honeyed” by a bee to keep
it sweet (as seen in the eye of the beholder).</div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My piece of artwork draws on the idea of "interference." The context of my work relates to the social context of the television screen and how it invades our personal space; growing ever larger until we become viewers in a cinema space, no longer 'loungers' on a sofa. This "interference" therefore alters the social dynamic space of the home.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The dual meaning of "interference" in the visual sense, as perceived on old black and white transmissions, is also indicated. The idea of a wider space, that of the universe, is hinted at through this interference which is the sound of the hiss of the Big Bang 4.8 billion years ago, and would be played as part of a sound art with the object.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have represented the screen with a Bridget Riley type print to give an indication of the visual distortion and the hiss, and crackle is represented by the metalic swarf which comes out of the screen and down on to the floor, interposing itself on the surrounding space.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is therefore a visual and sculptural object combine but alludes to a pedestal in the form of a tv base support, which was the traditional way of presenting a sculpture.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I gave a great deal of thought to this object/combine and have tried to give a context to my work. It is also influenced by Jean Tinguely's "Turning of Friendship of American and France." as well as Robert Rauschenburg and to a limited extend Cornelia Parker.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am aware that my work sometimes becomes rather cluttered, so I am making a conscious effort not to include too much, i.e. less is more.</span></div>

He went on to develop his 'Large Glass' which was a combination of semi-sculptural objects on or within a flat surface, thereby combining sculpture and the visual image. However, it was Rauschenburg who developed an individual style through his painted works which used objects, collage and various materials to bring art to the viewer. By opening up the artistic space into the gallery and off of the wall, art became more accessible. "Off the wall" became a phrase absorbed into our language it was quite literally a term meaning avant garde, quirky, unusual. Everyday object could be regarded as sculptures in themselves without being formed in the traditional way. It was no longer necessary for sculpture to be presented on a pedestal but could be displayed on the floor on the wall, outside in the environment rather than in, say, a park or communal space. It is a way of bringing art to the people, rather than people visiting the art.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the earliest exponents of the object being represented almost as a wall sculpture is El Lissitzky, a constructionist in his Proun Room in 1923, and various kinetic sculptures, including, Proun 3A, 1920, responding to specific paintings held in LACMA's permanenet collection. Machine Project Field Guide to LACMA, Los Angeles, 2008. Lissitzky, I feel, was under the shadow of Malevich and possibly has not received the recognition he deserves. He was different in that his work is inevitably geometric and is literally a construction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Joseph Beuys, who, in his Pack of 1969, uses a Volkswagen with 20 sledges carrying fat, felt and a flashlight. The sledges as seen tumbling out of the back of the volkswagen like a cascade on to the ground.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Robert Smithson used the image and sculpture one echoing the other, in a piece entitled Nonsite: Franklin, New Jersey, 1968.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sol le Witt is an example of an artist who uses sculpture and image as a combine in his Variations of incomplete Open cubes, where these objects are expressed as small sculptures on a dais and also illustrated in images, photographs and drawings on the wall.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Later artists considered the process and materials to develop a more minimalist style of art. Robert Morris in his Untitled of 1967 uses the gravity of felt display from the wall cascading on to the floor. Here the material itself takes centre stage. Similarly Lynda Benglis in Quartered Meteor uses lead to look like a glutinous excrescence coming out of the corner of the room. So that the material and its qualities start to become more important than the object itself, and does not hide the underlying process.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Allan Kaprow through his performances was inspired by Pollock's process in producing drip paintings combined with Willoughby Sharp's vision in looking at different kinds of organic matter. In this way it was possible to use things from the real world to evoke responses. It was no longer necessary for things to be represented visually in paint. Things could be taken out of context and placed in new ones, so that art is no longer segregated from people and real life, but becomes part of it. These conceptual ideas required the viewer to interpret the work to give it meaning.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cornelia Parker, a sculptor and installation artists uses found objects in innovative ways. She is particularly interested in the material of metal and hangs items on invisible line to display them so that the metal object becomes intrinsic to the display. These objects are often squashed so that its original purpose and decorative nature becomes unrecognisable, thus emphasizing the materiality of the object.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jessica Stockholder uses plastic in a similar way to that of Parker, except that she uses plastic as her preferred material and creates sculptures involving colour and form. The objects are recognizable but their environment is different. They are combined in a way that creates a new kind of image a combination that is both appealing and "off the wall". She also uses waste materials as well as mixed commodities as in Your Skin in this Weather Bourne Eye-Threads and Swollen Perfume, 1985.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Material starts to take over from commodity as in Mike Kelley's "The Wages of Sin and More Lover House Than Can Ever be Repaid, 1987. It uses waste fabric and wool to create the wall image and incorporates a table with wool on the floor, the latter being, in my view, more prosaic than the actual wall piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The exploration of the space itself is referenced by Katharina Grosse, who, by using spray paint is not limited to a particular area, so that the pigment itself becomes important. In this way of working adjacent areas of archtecture need to be considered in terms of relationships, not only to structure but to colour. There is a temporal feel to her work that questions the balance of time and space. She says: ..."the process of art making must lead to an image independent enough, not only from the process of its manufacture but also from the initial idea and the theory that surrounds it."</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331679234080045795.post-59165671770933059332014-11-30T05:30:00.001-08:002015-05-08T07:27:32.520-07:00Magic Door<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started off with high hopes with this picture. I wanted originally to include a door that would close on to the picture on the right then when opened close on to the picture on the left. I don't have the skills to make such a door and without it the picture is unsuccessful. Also I tried to create the ball on the left as a 3D image but it just doesn't work. I was inspired by Anselm Keifer's work and wanted to include that heavy texture and some rhinestones, but the whole effect is clumsy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The painting is meant to illustrate the following poem:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><em>When life's horizon was hidden in haze</em></span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial;">And no limits had been defined,</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial;">I lived in a haven I thought was a maze,</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial;">So I searched until I did find.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial;">When an exit I saw,</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Arial;">I ran through that magic door;</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Arial;">Only to find when I turned around</span></em><br />

I envisaged using Picasso's Dove painting to illustrate innocent youth with the dove of peace, except that the background was hinting at a maze, to illustrate the poem. The handle on the door has the look of an LED, therefore something slightly magical. The future of the person on the right is unknown, but there is an horizon, so she is aware of mortality and life's limited span. Her path is picked out in rhinestones indicating hope of better things to come.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Jean Debuffet
(1901-1985)<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The general public in France soon after World War II sought
beauty and redemption in art after the horrors that had just been confronted by
many.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However Jean Debuffet was a
contradiction and provided paintings that he regarded as honest and without
pretense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He used mediums which included
gravel, straw and texture paintings that were primitive and opposed to the
ideas of high traditional art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
emphasis on “materiality” was a way of starting from scratch by ignoring the
past, much as the Dadaist movement had done in its time, so the gritty texture and
earth colours in his paintings was like the very soil itself a new beginning
from the bottom up, as it were. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The “Hourloupe” style he developed from black lined doodles
encouraged him to create sculpture using a similar technique as he felt these
represented the way we perceive objects in the mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was the pioneer of Art Brut, a way of
seeing art at it’s most uncontrolled and primitive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He promoted the work of children and mental
patients, and influenced his own approach to art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He says: “For me, insanity is super
sanity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The normal is psychotic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Normal means lack of imagination, lack of
creativity”.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Art Brut (Raw Art) coincided with the Italian Art Povera which
in turn was a reaction against Abstract art in the 1950s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The movement also refers to the “poor” materials
used, i.e. burlap sacking, earth, rope, rocks, paper and clothing. Art Informel
(mainly in Germany) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was similar in the
sense of rejecting traditional art in favour of non-geometric Abstraction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From these three art movements it is possible
to see that post war European art had gone through a major change in its
progression from “High” academic art to ground-breaking beginnings which are
fuelled by a primitive base.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This echoes
the desire of the Dadaist movement that wanted to reject previous art and start
from the beginning.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">It took a while before Debuffet overcame his doubt in art,
twice he reverted to his father’s wine business.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But in 1942 he made his choice to pursue an
artistic career, painting child-like images, and work influenced by the insane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also made assemblages of polyester
sculptures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is an unsettling
violence to his work that can often be attributed to similar paintings, for
example using children’s dolls.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Buren uses stripes as a neutral symbol in his sculpture,
installing his art in and around Paris during the 60s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was commissioned to use striped columns at
the 2012 Monumenta festival in Paris.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The latest installation at the Grand Palais has disks of plastic colours
that fill the space and are mirrored from below.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I personally don’t find his work rewarding because
I don’t get any message, and like others think it is repetitive, but he is
regarded as France’s most important living artist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His use of coloured plastic in the BALTIC
Centre Contemporary Art exhibition reminds me of Matisse’s church windows that
he produced at the end of his life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
reflected light is joyful but for me is closer to interior design techniques
than to art. It is interesting that his concern is mainly the “scene of
production”, i.e. the process of making, rather than representing anything but
the work itself, so a conceptual artist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In terms of stripes, I think Bridgette Riley produces far more
interesting work.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">I am not sure what
all this says about the late 20<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> Century, I suppose that people
aren’t interested in ideas only material things and particularly processes
that might relate to Information Technology; <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>people glued to machines and appended to their
devices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am convinced the ‘computer’
will prove to be the womb of future art, but the gestation period seems a bit
protracted. However we are starting from the beginning, which is of course the
end, and the end is indeed the beginning”</span></div>

Some of his ideas about the cosmos and nature, life, death and renewal, chime with my own. The scale of his work is breath-taking, quite literally. One of the features of his work is its unpretentious honesty. It is always seeking to explore elemental truths about the basic "stuff" of life and how it resonates within a vast spectrum of human history, legend, experience, yearnings and tragedies. It somehow opens up the core of things to the spectator, and that is his strength. Technically, the work is quite beautiful particularly some of his later work produced for the exhibition. The texture helps to explore depth of meaning, and the choice of the materials and mediums is exciting and tactile.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I left the gallery having gained an insight into full reach of his ideas, an infinite questioning of what is. There is mention of a couple of things in the catalogue of Kiefer's work that touched me, in particular a quote about the child being able to put her hand over the viper's den, which was a quote from Revelations after the new heaven and earth had been formed, following the destruction of the old heaven and earth. It echoes the optimism that is sought in Kiefer's work and alludes to the tragedy of his own time and country after the terrible events of the last war. The cleansing that he pursues not just for himself but for his country is linked to this idea. On the infinite scale of the universe the other quote was the one that says that "in the beginning is the end and in the end is the beginning"¹. There is something remarkably optimistic and profound about this statement too. It is symbolic of the <span style="color: #222222;"><strong>Ouroboros, </strong>which is a symbol of the Alchemist, one of Kiefer's main pre-occupations. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The symbol denotes wholeness and infinity, as well as the idea of something constantly recreating itself, in a cyclical way. Carl Jung apparently interpreted the Ouroboros as an archetypal significance to the human psyche, representing the "dawn state" of mankind as well as the individual child. All of these ideas are reflected in Kiefer's work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kiefer himself says "When I use objects and substances such as straw and lead I distil from their spirit...I discover the spirit that is within these substances. I upheave it and display it"².</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I think this is exactly what Kiefer does, and for this reason it is possible to re-visit his work and sense different things because his paintings work on so many different levels to reveal that "spirit". It is interestingthat he uses the word "spirit" because his work echoes earlier Successionist painters who fell into the Symbolist style. His subject matter is dark and esoteric, and he paints woodlands invoking ancient myth and legend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I feel inspired to grapple with some of the techniques that Kiefer uses to express my own work, but realize I could never achieve the same poignant resolve.</span><br />

The inspiration was multi-layered going back to Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth to the present day with sculptural work by the late Sir Anthony Caro, Michael Buhrer, and particularly Charles Hinman whose work I particularly admire. The precision reminds me of the stones laid in Peruvian temples and the use of hard edges echoes the hard edge styling in motor car design.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />

The concept was to use some of the abstract patterns from my Malevich inspired sketches drawn for the initial exercise. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found it difficult to turn these designs into three dimensional pieces and became particularly hung up trying to make a pyramid, it was easy enough making a 3 sided pyramid but not as easy to do a 3-D four sided pyramid. I did become a bit preoccupied with this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">For the final piece I knew I wanted to include pyramids as a sort of aerial view of the desert. But playfully I wanted them to either infer Madonna's boobs or a face with protruding eyes. I also knew that I wanted to hint at Hinman's arrangements, with the close proximity of geometric shapes. Having been to see the pyramids in Cairo one is very conscious of the ancient and modern co-existing and I wanted to imply this by the mass of road and/or rail lines in the painting. I worked the original maquettes with artex, which is fast becoming one of my favourite mediums. Once dry I felt I wanted to leave the object white much as Nicholson did but when looking at the finished object against the wall I realized that the shapes would be interesting to coat in liquid paint and to see how it would fall over the various elements and what paths it would take amongst the various textures. So I dropped liquid acrylic paint down from the top to see how it would look. Thinking of it as a desert scene I decided to use yellow ochre. However, I now wonder whether other colours could be added.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Because I am seeing the image as an elemental design incorporating ancient ideas and modern I feel I should include the other two primary colours, but am reluctant to do this as there is something elemental about the idea of pure desert colour, and it is more minimal and therefore basic using just the one colour. I also toyed with the idea of using a frottage technique over the railway lines in black, but then they would be too prominent and detract from the shapes and their shadows which is what makes the picture interesting. I am reminded of Tapiés and his limited palette so for the time being at least, it will stay as it is.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Georges
Seurat developed his individual style of painting using dots of contrasting
colours close to each other so that they would merge visually in the eye of the
spectator.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His idea was that it would
produce a brighter effect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact the
process was rather laborious and ended up with rather dead paintings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also wanted to remove the Romantic element
that people like Degas and Monet had introduced with Impressionism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This effectively led to a flatter painting
that might be said to be one of the many pre-cursors to abstract painting. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">His style
was emulated by Paul Signac who used Pointillist techniques in a slightly
different way, placing cool and warm colours beside each other, the strokes
were more like small dashes than dots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They result still lead to pictures that lacked animation and liveliness.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Matisse
tried this technique only once as far as I can see and Pissarro too introduced
it into his work for a short while, but after the freedom of the Impressionist
style of painting, both artists eventually abandoned it and returned to the
freer more expressive style. Howard Hodgkin uses the dot almost as a
construction.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">Dots,
however, have always had an attraction for artists even to the present
day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Roy Lichtenstein used the Benday
dot emulating the comic print process in his work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Aboriginal painting consists only of dots
arranged in mystical patterns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ellsworth
Kelly painted Spectrum Colour arranged by Chance, and of course Damien Hirst
spent sometime developing Spot Paintings, which some people said was a way
of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>printing<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>One of his Spot Paintings was sent up in Beagle 2, but the space craft
was lost in 2004 – maybe it is still out there somewhere in deep space. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yayoi Kusama, a Japanese artist, uses the polka dot almost exclusively in her work. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">It begs the
question, what is it about the spot or dot which captivates the artist? The
circle is a natural eternal form which at the same time is enclosing, it hints
at infinity through cosmic associations and for that reason is also mystical,
romantic and perfect, it can be used alone to great effect as Van Gogh used it
in the Sower, but when used en masse it becomes a repetitive building block, a
honeycomb of strength, which is how Howard Hodgkin used it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can the same be said of any of the other
geometric shapes, I don’t think so, the nearest might be the triangle, and the
combination of both the triangle and circle, for me is the ultimate symbol of
infinite perfection.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">The idea of
using the frame as part of a painting is an extension of Jackson Pollock’s
field painting, it enables the work to spill over into real space, rather than
confining it within a framed space on a wall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I personally don’t think it quite works, it has an awkwardness about it
like a constantly hovering mosquito that you want to flit away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Ludwig von Hoffman who was part of the Munich Secession and also a symbolist decorated his frames, as indeed to Klimt and Jens Ferdinand Willumsen who did it in Jotunhein to separate those who sought a link between the infinitely great and small and those men without a goal .Also Adria Gual-Queralt and Georges Roualt. Such decoration of frames may have </span> engendered. The idea of decorated frames as a
contemporary interior design style, which have now become rather passé. That is the difficulty with 20th and post 20th Century art where movements come and go almost like fashion. If artists wish to achieve recognition and have a particular penchant for a style that has passed, it seems they are forced to consider the current avant garde trend, i.e. installation, conceptualism and so on, regardless of which direction their own inclinations and talents lead them. Debuffet's inclination was presaged on the notion that the public were being effectively duped by non-artists into seeing only "framed" works. Howard Hodkin's painted frames was also a reference to a similar desire for art to evolve and expand beyond the conventional.</span></span></div>
Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331679234080045795.post-13737979604845973552014-09-12T06:53:00.000-07:002015-05-08T07:32:29.490-07:00OPEN SURFACE PAINTING<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is interesting to look as artists past and present and to see the influences from earlier artists affecting the techniques and ideas of later artists. It is also illuminating to see how sculpture and canvas painting rub shoulders when thinking about artists who open up the painting's surface sometimes eliminating the canvas altogether to produce wall sculptures. For example Tatlin whose corner Reliefs used modern everyday materials to display sculptural works that were placed in the corner like Russian icons. Jean Arp also created wooden wall objects that might be regarded as sculptures, except that they maintain the traditional placement on walls. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Using shaped canvases Elizabeth Murray achieved a similar effect to Arp but her work is on shaped canvases.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It is also possible to think of Matisse's cut-outs as an "open" canvas. It isn't quite a collage but explores flat planes in similar ways to the work of Ben Nicholson. Picasso also used materials to open up the canvas, for example rope to form a sort of frame. He also made a guitar out of sheet metal which was wall mounted and virtually crosses the boundary, as the work of Arp and Tatlin did, between wall mounted object and/or sculpture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Lucio Fontana slit or cut his canvases to create a fractured surface, literally opening the canvas. Max Ernst created a canvas, Two children threatened by a Nightingale, that opened in a different way, using a wooden gate to gain access to the canvas. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Francois Rouan stripped the canvas from its frame, cutting it into strips then wove it into a new image. Michele Whiting used a similar technique, but she used photographs instead of canvas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Rauschenberg uses various materials to his canvas and sometimes takes us into the canvas with an object, for example his goat painting or the painting with the chair placed in front of the canvas which then becomes part of the painting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Kenny Cole produces massed wall mounted boxes which open to reveal poetry and images, almost like opening a cupboard.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We then begin to move closer to installation which is the next stage in this artistic practice. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5331679234080045795.post-37179825230948394882014-09-12T03:31:00.000-07:002015-05-08T07:32:52.711-07:00SUPREMATISM (Cubism, Futurism, Constructivism)<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following on from Cubism, the art world was finding new ways of expressing form and indeed movement. Picasso and Braque led this revolution and in Italy Futurism with artists such as Carlo Carra and Umberto Boccioni, movement in works of art were taken to new levels. Gleizes and Metzinger, in their essay on Cubism, wrote: "Let the picture imitate nothing and let it present nakedly its <em>raison d'être</em>"¹ This was a defining statement for the whole of the 20th Century, it expressed the wish to expunge representational art. In Holland the Dutch school through a group called De Stijl, people like Mondrian and Van Doesburg further explored this new plastic art which totally ignored the appearance of things, i.e. natural form and colour, in favour of positional relationships, i.e. how one thing relates to another in an harmonic way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Meanwhile during the Russian Revolution of 1917, art reflected the massive rate of historic and social change that was taking place in the country. Under the patronage of Ivan Morozov, the then modern works of Cezanne and Mondrian , Matisse and Picasso became part of his collection. Influenced by the latest work from the West artists such as Mikkhail Larionov and Natalia Gonchorova became leaders of the avant-garde. However, they eventually left Russia with the Impressario, Diaghilev as designers for his ballet. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The gap was filled by the artists Kasimir Malevich and Vladimir Tatlin, who were soon discovered by the remaining Larionov group. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Malevich started to develop a type of Cubism similar to that of Leger and Picasso, which eventually led to fragmented collage similar in style to the work of Kurt Schwitters of the later Dada movement. He worked for Kruchenikh's Futurist opera where he designed costumes and backdrops, one of which was a square divided into black and white triangles. This idea led to the purely abstract squares, oblongs and triangles which formed the basis of Suprematism.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Tatlin's art took a slightly different path. He moved to Moscow in 1910 and started exhibiting with the Larionov circle and was influence by him and Goncharova. But in 1913 he quarrelled with them and eventually ended up in Paris seeing the collage work of Picasso which was to inspire Tatlin who then returned to Moscow. The First and Last Futurist Exhibitions then followed, where both artists exhibited their work, but eventually in separate rooms as Tatlin regarded Malevich's work as amateur. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">After the Revolution changes in the Art Colleges produced the Vkhutemas where Malevich, Tatlin, Kandinsky and Pevsner had studios. The Institute of Artistic Culture was formed and Kandinsky formulated their programme. His ideas were radical and influenced by his religious beliefs, he was a Theosophist like Mondrian. However, he left Russia and his programme was introduced at the Bauhause in Weimar. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Malevich was sympathetic to Kandinsky's ideas but remained independent. When invited by Chagall to become a tutor, Malevich accepted but took advantage of Chagall's temporary absence to declare himself Director and change the name of the school to College of the New Art. He introduced Suprematism believing it to be more pure than Futurism and Cubism, as a non-objective art form. He met with opposition from the Constructivists who held that 'absolute' objective objects were constructed in the same way that universe constructs its mathematical orbits. Tatlin was more sympathetic to the Constructivist ideals and designed objects including the Monument to the Third International Exhibition of 1919-10. Eventually as the new Central Government became established, the avant-garde movement of Constructivism was decried and Kandinsky, Pevsner and Gabo left Russia in 1922 to work at the Bauhaus. El Lissitzky's work was heavily influenced by Malevich and his 'Proun' abstracts were geometric designs for offering a combination of art using imagery and lettering in new ways. His street poster "Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge" illustrates this. He too left Russia in 1922 and became influential on De Stijl, and the Bauhaus, eventually returning to Russia as a designer of exhibitions and posters. The Bauhaus effectively adopted some of the ideas of Constructivism through the Hungarian Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, who said that art "is the senses"²</span><br />

It is a romantic piece of work with hidden depths beneath the ice cubes, with an inscription of the moment when the ballerina is said to have danced on a panther skin in the snow, for a highwayman who had stopped her carriage. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having seen how Cornell worked I wanted to create something that might be considered interactive in an albeit limited sense, but as a piece of fun. I conceived the idea of a pun on 'box' by creating a toy box., situated in a diorama setting but without creating an actual room. I went to some charity shops with my grandson and he helped rummage among the toy section for appropriate pieces, so it was a joint effort!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The items I managed to pick up all lent themselves to being "usable". Wooden dominoes with images on them which can effectively be played with by piling them against the back wall, a plastic flute, a small ball, a beach hut with walls that can be moved and in the middle a little mouse who's tail you pull to get the arms and legs to flick out. One of the Lego bricks is adhered to the rear wall and the other brick can be attached or not. The only black object both in colour and message is the automatic weapon placed on top of the teddy bear 'box' - a box within a box, repeated in the toy box itself, creating repeating motifs. I wanted the contents of the box to be considered as a reflection of the development of children generally: Love, represented by the cuddly toy, Aggression by the automatic rifle and tiny plastic sword, Intellect by the dominoes, Energy by the ball, Music by the little whistle, Exploration by the beach hut, love of Animals by the sheep, Creativity by the Lego bricks, Fun by the extending mouse.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I originally considered painting the frame white in similar style to Michale Buhler, but I liked the idea of red because it is an 'active' colour and remembered something that was said, I by Matisse, that if you are going to use red, use a lot of it. Having thought of Matisse I remembered his Red Interior painting which I have always admired and decided my Toy Box was going to be red.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 'box' support was actually a canvas in reverse, which had a painting of the leaning tower of Pizza on the front, which I have left as part of the original object. I used Artex to form the "frame" and stuck some objects to the "room" leaving others to be played with. therefore giving another dimension to the visual work.</span><br />

My intention was to produce something visually fairly plain but to have a narrative that hinted at more complex ideas. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The title of the frame is "Language barrier". The image features 'made up' hieroglyphs on the top section with Pitman's shorthand in the bottom section. The two are separated by what appears to be a river or a sea. Continents with different cultures and languages unable to communicate, hints of the Rosetta Stone and the rivalries over its ownership. Idealistic ideas of communication being a potential instrument for peace (if you can translate the shorthand), barriers, bridges, Gulfs, being engulfed and so on. It seemed appropriate to use the frame as the river is seemingly without end and therefore the number of languages too. It is a reference to the field painting of Jackson Pollock which extends beyond the canvas, into infinity, but it also insinuates, or carries a suggestion of, a bridge from one side to the other, at least I hope it does. </span><br />

I thought it would be interesting therefore to "fracture" the flags making up the Union Flag. I decided it would be better to print the Scottish soltire, St Patrick's flag and St George's flag to ensure I had matching sizes. I tried painting, but it was not as effective. I overprinted the St George and St Patrick flags on to one image with the Scottish Soltire printed separately. After all, it may mean a change of flag if Independence is favoured, presumably the Soltire. would be removed. By fracturing the images using the weaving technique, I felt it was appropriate to mark the current state of play. It is also an evocation of Jackson Pollock's US flags.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first attempt used one inch strips and I don't think I got the alignment quite right. It was also painted which wasn't as crisp as I wanted. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the second attempt I thought it might be an idea to try smaller strips, just in the middle to see how the image displayed then, and whether or not it would look more interesting. It was better than the first but didn't quite look enough like the Union Flag for it to have much meaning. Strangely, the tops are aligned yet the bottom is out of alignment but there are no vertical gaps to account for this.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the third attempt, the Goldilocks principal springs to mind, I decided to take the central crossover out of the Soltire and to space those strips differently, eliminating two strips altogether. I also cut the horizontals much narrower still. The finished result looks closer to a "fractured" Union Flag, with St George's flag more readable and bolder than the other two flags, which is the effect I wanted to achieve. I hope it is not a beheading offence!</span></div>

However, the stairwell possibly had potential so I thought I would see what I could make of it. The more photographs I took from different angles, the more interesting the area became. The clean lines and almost white planes offered an architectural interest similar to that of the work of Corbusier.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I felt there was some possibility in the photos to produce something with a geometric sculptural feel to it, a sort of labyrinth of conflicting perspectives. Rather than using collage I thought I would use Fireworks to move the photos into different positions to see what I came up with. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was pleased with the finished product and it was surprising the amount of moving around that was necessary to achieve the effect I was after, getting the angles right and covering parts of the image I didn't want took some time but I think it was worth persevering . I decided to reduce the colour on one of the prints and turn it around, but am not sure which I prefer, I think possibly the green one. I decided it might be worth increasing the contrast on the near black and white and also the saturation , maybe making it completely black and white, (see third image below), so now I am even more uncertain of my preference. Just turning the photograph made a huge difference to the feel of the image, and added a vertiginous aspect which I felt was interesting. It is almost like a dream sequence of a house with stairs that lead nowhere and spaces that don't cohere properly. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Picasso/Braque, Henri
Matisse, Pierre Bonnard, Maurice Denis</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Daniel Pitin, Ben Yates, Gilbert and George, Anthony Green,
Robert Rauschenberg</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anselm Kiefer</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Matisse developed his style to include his unique cut-outs
but not necessarily to produce a multi-perspective. He was interested in dance and one of the
ways that he was able to define different spatial limits was in his Dance of
1931-33 which is produced in three portions on shaped canvases. Simplicity of style was what he was
endeavouring to find through new definitions of form.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Picasso’s development of cubism with Braque was a way of
producing an object or person in three dimensions from different perspectives
but to produce an image with little in the way of actual perspective, so that
the image became a sort of cut out (similar to Matisse’s cut-outs) offering a
different view of the same object. However, in works such as Night Fishing at
Antibes 1939, Picasso produced multi images in a large painting which is very
reminiscent in style to his Guernica painted two years earlier. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bonnard had a different way of pursuing the idea of the
unusual perspective which he did using panels for screens, which took his work
away from the easel. As a consequence
his style became more decorative (Nannies’ Promenade, Frieze of Carriages,
1895/6. In his Twilight, or Croquet Game
of 1892, by producing “flat” images they become separated and slightly
abstracted as if forming different motifs or pictures in the same painting.
Maurice Denis develops this style even further.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anthony Green’s shaped canvases with their multi aspects
could be said to be reminiscent of Matisse’s cut-outs, except that Green has synthesized
them into one image. Had Picasso’s separate objects in Night Fishing at Antibes
been cut out and stuck to the support his work might have ended up looking
similar. Green’s work is almost cubist at times but “opened out” cubism. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gilbert and George use the multi-image approach to their
work, but it is used more as a montage. Balls: The Evening Before the Morning
After. In Dead Boards No: 5, multi
perspective images are interspersed with plain wood.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Robert Rauschenberg uses photography in his paintings to
restructure the pictorial imagery in his “combines”, doing much the same thing
as earlier collage, it incorporated a different discipline firmly into the art
world. He also introduces objects into his work, such as the Goat inside the
tyre. Bonnard effectively incorporated small paintings within a painting
which is similar to Rauschenberg’s work
which provides conflicting viewpoints in one painting.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Daniel Pitin de-constructs a scene by representing buildings
and parts of buildings in seemingly impossible but readable scenes. By painting in this way he effectively opens
up the interior space not only in the painting but psychologically as
well. His paintings often depict war
ravaged landscapes, exploring the darker side of the aftermath of conflict.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In terms of sculpture, contemporary work seems generally to
display the temporary rather than the multi image. Splashes of glass or material of all kinds,
although Anselm Kiefer’s Books display various view points, but that is what
sculpture is about, viewing something from different angles and in that sense
it does draw upon the early cubist work I suppose. Because film can now utilize
digital technology the created image can be incorporated into different aspects
of a live frame by frame movie. Therefore the options for multi-layering and
multi-imaging are limitless.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Digital photography enables artists to juxtapose images in
three dimensional ways as seen in the work of Ben Yates’ photo cubism. The view of reality can become split so that
there is a discontinuity in the visual image leading to insubstantial views which
can be provocative and disconcerting. </span></div>
