SupremePunk #118
Palette of Feelings
This Punk is inspired by SupremePunk #5281 and the work of Luigi Colombo. An Italian artist associated with the second generation of futurism. Luigi Colombo signed his works with the pseudonym Branch, using his mother's maiden name for this. From an early youth, he showed interest in theatrical art and poetry and achieved some success in this, but later became interested in futuristic painting and devoted himself to fine art. The artist was a co-author of several manifestos of futurism and wrote many works of art history, revealing the essence and features of modern art.
Luigi Colombo — Bicycle, Merging Landscape, 1924
The SupremePunk is inspired by Luigi Colombo's painting "Bicycle, Merging Landscape". The canvas belongs to the series of paintings "Mechanical Idol", on which the artist worked until 1930. The theme of the bicycle as a symbol of mechanical movement was close to many representatives of futurism, who with the help of this simple object tried to reveal the essence of speed and ways of displaying it on canvas. The task of the branch in this work was to show the speed of a person on a bicycle through his interaction with the surrounding reality. He achieves this by decomposing the landscape into separate segments, which radiate like rays from a fast-moving cyclist. The perspective is distorted at the same time, creating a sense of active interaction and interpenetration.
Like the Colombo painting, SupremePunk conveys a sense of movement and speed. Objects that change in size, shape and color create a sense of metamorphosis and dynamics. The color scheme of the painting is calm and muted. The background is calm, the main elements actively stand out against it.
Luigi Colombo — Self-Portrait, 1926
SupremePunk depicts a dynamic image of a person. This can be found in the painting by Luigi Colombo "Self-Portrait". The only self-portrait in the artist's creative heritage, in which Colombo depicted his face in large scale on an abstract background consisting of several parts. At the bottom we see city buildings that look like strict geometric shapes, while in the upper part the artist placed smoother shapes similar to clouds. The translucency of these figures creates the feeling that the portrait merges with the surrounding space, as if floating in the air, but his face remains serious and even a little angry. The painting creates an ambivalent impression, as if the person depicted on it is in a state of reflection.
On the SupremePunk, dynamics and planning are created by changing the color of the spots. This technique most successfully creates the illusion of moving objects. A similar technique can be found in the painting by Joan Miro "Still Life with an old shoe".
Joan Miro — Still Life with an old shoe, 1937
Throughout the 1930s, Miro created relatively few paintings, focusing mainly on collages and interior design work. The paintings of this period are distinguished by a dark color palette and gloomy plots, which are echoes of civil strife in Spain and mark the approach of war. The emotional intensity of the works also increases, bringing Miro closer to the Expressionists. In the still life, an old shoe, an apple pierced with a fork and other objects symbolize the tragedy of human life and the senseless cruelty of any war.
The overflow and the illusion of movement in this picture is created by changing the color of the planes. Thus, objects flow from each other, arguing and overflowing with each other.
