Suprematist Variations on Kazimir Malevich's "Spring Garden in Blossom" (1904)

-

This project comprises 30 pieces (18"x18" each for exhibition) that play on Suprematist variations of Kazimir Malevich's "Spring Garden in Blossom" (1904) after glitch treatment and magnification of the digital reproduction of the painting.

These pixel configurations ("Pixelscapes") rival works in Suprematism, Abstraction, Minimalism, Geometric, and Color Field art movements. They are brought to the forefront via this early work to celebrate Malevich's latent and ultimate creativity which gave way to Suprematism with the display of "Black Square" and other works in 1915 as part of the Last Futurist Exhibition of Paintings 0,10.


A "glitch" is a disruption in a system. Also, Glitch Art - the aestheticization of digital or analog errors - is a current, viable art form that includes workshops, lectures, performances, installations and screenings worldwide. (Wp)

MY DEAR MALEVICH (MDM)

MY DEAR MALEVICH (MDM) ( "My Dear Malevich" ) This homage to Kazimir Malevich is a confirmation of Tom R. Chambers' Pixelscapes as Minimalist Art and in keeping with Malevich's Suprematism - the feeling of non-objectivity - the creation of a sense of bliss and wonder via abstraction. Chambers' action of looking within a portrait (photo) of Kazimir Malevich to find the basic component(s), pixel(s) is the same action as Malevich looking within himself - inside the objective world - for a pure feeling in creative art to find his "Black Square", "Black Cross" and other Suprematist works. And there's a mathematical parallel between Malevich's primitive square ("Black Square") ... divided into four, then divided into nine ("Black Cross") ... and Chambers' Pixelscapes . The pixel is the most basic component of any computer graphic, and it can be represented by 1 bit (a 1 if the pixel is black,

BLACK SQUARE DISPLACEMENT - Utilization of Kazimir Malevich's Artworks, 1900-1914

BLACK SQUARE DISPLACEMENT - Utilization of Kazimir Malevich's Artworks, 1900-1914. Kazimir Malevich's "Black Square" is utilized as a transformational zone to displace his artworks, 1900-1914. These artworks were created prior to his Suprematism and "Black Square". Malevich might approve of this treatment since he became bored with most, if not all, art movements and their creations. More than likely, he looked back on his early artworks ... including his Cubist experimentations ... in the same manner, and probably wondered why he had not reached the Suprematist state sooner. To displace is to move or shift into a new position or place, both in a concrete and in an abstract sense. This shift in the following "Black Square Displacement" images transforms Malevich's artworks into abstractions that go beyond the art movements ... Impressionism, Pointillism, Symbolism, Post-Impressionism, Cloisonnism, Art Nouveau (Modern), Fauvism, Naïve Art (Primi

The Pixel as Suprematist/Minimalist Art

-

During the early-mid 2000s, Chambers began to look at the pixel within the context of Suprematist / Minimalist art. He equated the pixel with the works of non-objective artists like Vasily Kandinsky , Barnett Newman , Mark Rothko , Ad Reinhardt , Kazimir Malevich , Piet Mondrian and others. They generated works to establish an abstract visual language of the sublime, pure color, geometric form, deep contemplation and metaphysical pursuit of the truth. http://tomrchambers.com/pixel_sup_min_art.html The pixels or "Pixelscapes" - as he calls them - conform with many of these non-objective artists' works. They are a revelation for him when compared to these non-objective works generated many years before the pixel and Digital Revolution. It seems that he has managed to do what Kazimir Malevich and other Suprematists (Minimalists) have done through the simple process of magnification and isolation of the pixel(s).
