Serenity
This Punk is inspired by CryptoPunk #5467 and the work of Henri Matisse, a French painter and sculptor. He was a leader of Fauvism and was known both for his use of color and his volatile original drawing. In addition to Fauvism, he worked in several other genres such as Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and Cubism.
Henri Matisse — Conversation, 1912
Matisse's painting "Conversation" is one of the most recognizable in contemporary painting. The subject is conveyed to us through a flat picture: perspective is almost non-existent here, it is barely guessed at in the landscape that we can see from the window of the room. The smoothness of the flowerbeds and tree crowns is echoed by the straight lines of the trunk and fence, which locks within itself a bizarre ornament of forging. A peculiar "duel" of lines is emphasized by the color scheme chosen by the artist: it is a combination of such contrasting shades as deep blue, black and dark green.
SupremePunk also conveys its subject through a flat painting. The overall composition is built with colored planes painted in neutral colors with the use of bright accent elements. The main center of the composition is expressed with a bright red plane. The background of the painting is neutral, but at the same time has an interesting structure. As in Matisse's painting, the viewer is presented with an image through an objectless space that is easy to read.
Henri Matisse — The Blue Nude, 1907
The main advantage of the entire series is the extraordinary harmony. Two colors - white and blue, intertwined by means of the arrangement of individual parts that embody the female figure, albeit in a deliberately distorted form. It seems that take away one fragment and that's it - the harmony will be broken and the figure will become an incoherent collection of elements. Each picture resembles not even a plane drawing, but a bizarre sculpture, magically transformed into a two-dimensional image. "The Blue Nude" is the perfect translator of the views of Matisse, who did not want to portray dramatic, complex emotions, but only to bring people relaxation, peace and aesthetic satisfaction, that is, joy in the highest sense of the word. SupremPunk, like Matisse's series of works, is like an applique made of various geometric figures. This composition is relaxed and balanced, it seems as if nothing can disturb its peace. All the elements in the picture are harmonious in the overall composition, and the orthogonal black elements support and balance it.
Black auxiliary lines are also used in his paintings by Ad Reinhardt. His aesthetic and conceptual underpinnings include Cubism, Constructivism, and the austere compositions of colleague Piet Mondrian. While many of his peers experimented with figurative work influenced by Surrealism, Reinhardt, in contrast, worked in an abstract style from the beginning of his career. In the late 1940s he became deeply interested in Chinese and Japanese painting, Islamic art and, importantly, East Asian philosophy.
Ad Reinhardt — Etude, 1938
Reinhardt believed that art should be separated from everyday life and saw the creation of art as a pure, unselfish and ethical endeavor. His early paintings and collages used bold geometric shapes and patterns. This eventually led to monochromatic blue and red paintings arranged in strict geometric patterns, and finally to his Black Paintings. These paintings appear to be unmodulated fields of black, but are in fact subtle compositions incorporating intensely dark shades of red, blue and green.
Like Reinhardt's paintings, Suprempunk shows a field riddled with memorable elements using bright, prominent colors that convey an emotional state and an image detached from everyday and ordinary life.
