METACHROMATIC
Phase II, Part 2, 2020
-
Meta –, (of creative work) referring to itself or to the conventions of its genre; self-referential. – Chromatic, is any color in which one particular wavelength or hue predominates.
At this moment, the world is going through mental, societal, and visual changes. The art world is not to be set apart from this idea. Technological advances have shifted the ways we experience the art world.
The Term ‘New Age (Art) Movement’ is futuristic. It describes an ever-changing modern art movement that has inspired culture since its birth in Western Nations during the 1970s. While definitions largely defer, its visual aesthetic is a reflection of the pursuit of the future with Afrofuristic ideals. Ytasha L. Womack writer of Afrofuturism defines it as, “An intersection of imagination, technology, the future and liberation” (9).
I approach each piece by constantly creating new ways of expression throughout the process. I want my work to inspire and ignite conversations about the viewer’s thoughts and feelings. METACHROMATIC is a representation of New Age Art.
In a constantly changing and unique virtual world, intensely creative, intensely rebellious, and intensely passionate, I believe in and celebrate individuality and creativity. This blend between the artificial, and the natural, delicate, and intricately detailed as well as bold and dynamic is a by-product of Internet Culture, where the many manifestations of the use of computer networks come down to our consumption and are fueled by the constant challenges of the digital artist.
This is a challenge for the traditionalists and formalists of the art world. Challenging the beliefs of Traditional Art set by white men. A time of imminent change. Artists like Johnathan Zawada, Felipe Pantone, and Refik Anadol are the artist that I have been observing and have in a way shifted the ways in which art is experienced with the use of Technology.
METACHROMATIC begins as an ode to industry. Objects revolve around and exist with one another in variety. These objects exist in hyperreal and immersive scenes of intense experiences in flashing color schemes. Organic shapes and textures depicting very crazed moments are centered around this intersection.
