Suprematist Rage

Image
These Suprematist and Geometric Abstractionist art pieces stem  from Kazimir Malevich's early works prior to his Suprematism  and "Black Square". They are used as symbols of rage to echo  back to Malevich's tumultuous years with Soviet politicians who  were against his abstract style (Suprematist) of art. Malevich  soon lost his teaching position, artworks and manuscripts were  confiscated, and he was banned from making art. Forced to  abandon abstraction, he painted in a representational style in  the years before his death from cancer in 1935, at the age of 56. (Wp) The Suprematist and Geometric Abstractionist art pieces are by  Tom R. Chambers. Fifteen of these pieces will be exhibited as  40"x40" canvas prints at the Wichita Falls Museum of Art at  Midwestern State University (Wichita Falls, Texas), August -  September, 2024.

DIGITAL SUPREMATISM - GEOMETRIC ABSTRACTION

Image
Tom R. Chambers will have this solo exhibition at The Wichita Falls Museum of Art at Midwestern State University (Wichita Falls, Texas), August-September, 2024. Chambers is very happy about this since Midwestern State University is his alma mater. He graduated from there in 1969. The university is near his hometown (Nocona, Texas) where family and friends live and work. This body of work is derived from the pixel. Under the namesake of "Pixelscapes“, they stem from digitized reproductions of Kazimir Malevich's early works prior to his Suprematism and “Black Square”. They are brought to the forefront 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. These “Pixelscapes” conform with the works of non-objective artists like Wassily Kandinsky, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, Josef Albers, Ad Reinhardt, Kazimir Malevich,

Tom R. Chambers' "Digital Suprematism - Geometric Abstraction" project presentation for the Art Lab series (June 5, 2023) based in the Dean Clough complex in Halifax, Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England. Art Lab is a peer group for artists and art practitioners to discuss their work, concurrent ideas and critical thinking. Art Lab’s event practice randomly pairs two artists together to explore commonalities and collaborative methods. http://halifaxartlab.uk/index.html Dean Clough is a group of large factory buildings built in the 1840s–60s for Crossley's Carpets, becoming one of the world's largest carpet factories. The converted mills now house about 150 large and small businesses and arts venues including Crossley Gallery and several other art galleries and the Viaduct Theatre, home base for the Northern Broadsides theatre company.
