DIGITAL SUPREMATISM

Several art pieces from Tom R. Chambers' "Digital Suprematism - Geometric Abstraction" project are viewed at the macro level to explore the color fields.

Tom R. Chambers has created QR code "business"/handout cards for exhibition openings, etc. He likes this idea since this particular style of code is in keeping with Suprematism (Malevich's "Black Square") and Geometric Abstraction. Kazimir Malevich was ahead of his time ... a "digital pioneer", so-to-speak, and didn't realize it. QR codes (particularly this style) exude Suprematism not only through their geometric abstraction, but also how they represent/portray the representational world.

When “Black Square” Memories is viewed from afar, the pieces seem identical … true as it relates to “Black Square” … but upon closer inspection, the history about the square and its creator, Kazimir Malevich is revealed. The text is reduced and subdued to indicate that this history is inconsequential to the constancy of “Black Square” … seen in repetitive fashion … since its inception in 1913 as part of costume and stage design for the opera, “Victory Over the Sun.” Today, “Black Square” is as vibrant and vital as when it was first put on public display. The history text courtesy of  kazimirmalevich.org  and  wikipedia.org: In sequence, 1-17: BS1: In 1913, Kazimir Malevich’s costume sketches for the opera, “Victory Over the Sun” contain distinct black squares and rectangles. During the pivotal scene depicting the death of the Sun, black squares appear eight times: on a curtain and the backdrops, and on the coats and hats of the Sun's pall bearers. BS2: The painting, “Blac...

Tom R. Chambers works with his "Digital Suprematism - Geometric Abstraction" (DSGA) project ( https://digsup.my.canva.site/dsga ) by placing the art pieces within Kazimir Malevich's "Black Circle" zone. The pieces become rounded due to the zonal effect ("gravitation"), and they "drop" to the center-bottom of "Black Circle". Malevich's "Black Circle" is configured onto a white background close to its original positioning in 1915. Kazimir Malevich's "Black Circle" depicts a monumental black circle floating on a flat white background. It is, along with his "Black Square" of 1915, one of his most well-known early works in this field, depicting pure geometrical figures in primary colors. The motif of a black circle was displayed in December 1915 at the '0.10' Exhibition in St. Petersburg, Russia. The exhibition coincided with the publication of his manifesto "From Cubism to Suprematis...
