Constructive DSGA

Image
Tom R. Chambers works with his "Digital Suprematism - Geometric Abstraction" project (  Chambers Arts (godaddysites.com)  )  by rotating ... 360 degrees at 90-degree intervals ... several of the pieces within a square as a constant placeholder. This approach could be considered "Constructivism" since the pieces are repeated four times, reconfigured (through rotation), and assembled as a whole, or complete unit within the square placeholder. Constructivism was a post-World War I development of Russian Futurism, and particularly of the 'counter reliefs' of Vladimir Tatlin, which had been exhibited in 1915. The term itself was invented by the sculptors Antoine Pevsner and Naum Gabo, who developed an industrial, angular style of work, while its geometric abstraction owed something to the Suprematism of Kazimir Malevich.

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"

Image
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.
