out-of-control simulation | Along Sep. 2014

This piece encapsulates the experimental spirit of digital art, where abstraction meets precision. The dynamic interplay of sharp, flowing lines and vibrant splashes of color creates a narrative of controlled chaos. Reflecting the contemporary fascination with technology and emotional expression, the work bridges the gap between raw emotion and calculated design. It resonates with the artistic zeitgeist of blending traditional visual storytelling with cutting-edge digital techniques.

Title: “Out-Of-Control Simulation”

Description:

• Composition and Layout:
  The artwork is divided into two contrasting sections, with a diagonal white plane acting as a bridge. The left side has a more subdued tone, featuring softer textures and organic forms, while the right side is dominated by sharp, angular black structures that exude tension and energy. The use of circles and arcs adds a sense of balance and guides the viewer’s eye through the composition.
• Color Palette:
  A minimalistic yet striking palette of black, white, yellow, red, and blue is used. The bright yellow and red splashes act as focal points, injecting vitality into the darker, more subdued background. The cool blue tones add a calming counterbalance to the fiery accents.
• Textures and Surfaces:
  The contrast between the smooth, reflective surfaces of the black forms and the rough, painterly textures of the splashes of color creates a layered depth. This interplay of textures invites the viewer to explore the piece more closely.
• Light and Movement:
  The artwork’s dynamic energy comes from the sharp black forms that seem to slice through space, contrasted by the organic flow of the paint splashes. The use of light and shadow on the black forms enhances their three-dimensional quality, while the vibrant colors suggest movement and spontaneity.
• Referents and Influences:
  • The use of abstraction and geometric precision echoes the works of Kazimir Malevich and Wassily Kandinsky, pioneers of abstract art.
  • The explosive, painterly strokes recall the action painting style of Jackson Pollock.
  • The integration of digital precision with expressive elements reflects the influence of modern digital artists like Joshua Davis and GMUNK.

Software: Blender + Gimp + Inkscape + Darktable.
