SupremePunk #086
Atmospheric Cubes
This Punk is inspired by CryptoPunk #3559 and the work of Jessica Dismorr. Jessica Stewart Dismorr is an English artist and illustrator, she participated in almost all the avant-garde groups operating in London in the first half of the 20th century. Jessica was one of two members of the Vorticist movement. Vorticism is a short-lived art direction of avant-garde art that emerged in the early 20th century exclusively in England under the influence of Cubism and futurism. Vorticism renounces the softness of the depicted through geometricity, striving for abstraction.
Jessica Dismorr — Abstract Composition, 1915
The inspiration for Punk was the work of Dismorr "Abstract Composition". The painting is unique in Jessica's work, not characteristic of vorticism. Several geometric shapes resembling architectural components are arranged in such a way that a dark yellow prism with a curved side provides vertical focus and divides the composition into two parts. The interaction of darker and lighter pastel colors creates the illusion of depth and movement.
The author of the SupremePunk uses unique tonally modeled solid shapes that fall in space.
It is worth noting the lack of aerial perspective in the picture, the far part of the composition is as saturated as the front. The artist tried to convey movement through sharp geometric lines and planes. The color scheme is chosen in such a way that it does not irritate the eye, but causes anxiety, tension. The painting depicts a world, harsh, rough and closed. There is no perspective at work, the drawing is made in the form of axonometry. The main axis of the painting is located in the center, it is supported by perpendicular planes that create a static, but at the same time light the composition. Texture and shadows give the work a picturesque volume, creating a multidimensional space.
Solomon Levitt — Two open modular cubes, 1972
The construction of a multidimensional space worried many sculptors of the 20th century. One of the innovative ones can be called Solomon Levitt.
American artist, sculptor and theorist Solomon Levitt played a leading role in the formation of conceptual art and minimalism. Russian Russian-Jewish immigrants, he was inspired by the works of Russian avant-gardists and constructivists, especially Malevich, whose black square served as the basis for his special geometric aesthetics. It was made famous by "Modular compositions" - structures consisting of empty cubes without faces.
From these cubes, the artist constructed complex intricate compositions in which geometric elements are repeatedly repeated among themselves, creating a harmonious rhythm and strict harmony.
Separately, it is worth highlighting his "modular composition" "Two open modular cubes", which consists of cubes connected to each other with an offset. The artist considered the most interesting characteristic of the cube to be that it practically does not represent any interest in itself, and therefore serves as an excellent material for his meaningless conceptual compositions.
Vasily Ermilov — Three Russian Revolutions: 1825, 1905 and 1917, 1925
Avant-garde artists also tried to convey a sense of scale and modularity in their works. This work can include the sculptural composition of Vasily Ermilov "Three Russian Revolutions: 1825, 1905 and 1917".
Vasily Ermilov is a Ukrainian avant-garde artist, painter and designer, an active and outstanding participant in various new artistic trends of the early 20th century. Art historians often call him the "Ukrainian Picasso". Ermilov worked productively in industrial graphics, developed new fonts, created designs for packages and stamps.
The monument of the three Russian revolutions is suprematically concise, close to the style of minimalism. Colored geometric shapes of different sizes, similar to a podium or a stele, rush to the ideals of their eras, stretch upward from a low platform-a pedestal. The sculpture, suprematist in its architectonics, was realized in wood, and its sketch image became a self-sufficient work of avant-garde art.
Like Ermilov's work, the forms on the SupremePunk #086 evolve and tend to complicate. The artist has created a work that shows metamorphosis and the desire to go beyond space in order to escape into a new world, into a new color field.
