Chameleonic "Black Square"

Image
Tom R. Chambers sees this approach quite a bit where artists/photographers superimpose "Black Square" (particularly) and other geometric forms onto images (photographs) to make a point. I have taken this a bit further, perhaps, by superimposing "Black Square", but in chameleonic fashion where this geometric form takes on some of the color of its surroundings (within the image/photograph) ... my point being that "Black Square" is "organic" ... melding with Nature and the Cosmos.

Destructed/Reduced "DSGA"

Several pieces from Tom R. Chambers' "Digital Suprematism - Geometric Abstraction" project are rotated ... 360 degrees at 90-degree intervals ... through a series of four triangles to create different perspectives within a constant placeholder, and then "destructed" and/or "reduced" via a prominent color that comprises the pieces as a backdrop. Color is the mediating force as the disruptor ("destructor/reductor") of the image. 

An Evening with Suprematism

For [fashion] designers and performance artists ... utilizing Kazimir Malevich's "Black Square"/"Red Square"/"White Square"/"Black Circle"/"Black Cross" as installations and backdrops within the gallery/museum space. Actors/models (artists themselves) dressed in abstract/geometric fashions would stand before (and act/pose) the various Malevich Suprematist works showcasing the designs.  Tom R. Chambers has used a simulation gallery wall and Konstantin Vialov's "Costume design for Sten'ka-Razi" (1923) (© A. A. Bakhrushin State Central Theatre Museum) as an example of a character/model standing/performing before the backdrops. Malevich's iconic works are used as the precursors to geometric abstraction.  Maybe such a show/exhibition could become a reality ... similar to "Victory Over the Sun", the 1913 Opera staged by Malevich, the musician Mikhail Matyushin, and the poets Aleksei Kruchenykh and V

"DSGA 75" from my "Digital Suprematism - Geometric Abstraction" project ( https://digsup.my.canva.site/dsga ) shown in the exhibition, "Sciarsism", National Center for Contemporary Arts , Minsk, Belarus, February 22 - March 26, 2024. The term Sciarsism comes from two Latin words, translated into Russian: science and art. The author, ideologist and theorist of this trend in fine art is the modern St. Petersburg artist Sergei Dozhd. Some researchers interpret the new trend, which originated in the second decade of the XXI century, as a new wave of the Russian avant-garde and the Russian philosophical school, which can have a great impact on the global cultural space. According to the definitions given by Sergei, Sciarsism is an artistic science about the inner space of an artist whose practice is inseparable from theory. It is also a philosophy of the creative development of man and the world. It is a proposed a system of understanding artistic abstraction,
