SupremePunk #132
Plainness
This Punk is inspired by CryptoPunk #101 and the work of Franz Marc. Franz Marc was a prominent German painter and founder of the Expressionist movement. The Expressionist movement became so famous because of its interest in the spirituality of the Symbolists, and because of its harmonious combination of Primitivism, Fauvism, and a vector for abstraction, which was in its heyday. Franz Marc incorporated all these styles into his style of painting, adding a love of theology and the animal world. To create an alternative, more spiritual vision of the world, he depicted it through the eyes of animals, which highlighted aspects of modernity that he considered unfavorable. Significantly, too, his later work moved into almost pure abstraction.
Franz Marc — The Yellow Cow, 1911
SupremePunk refers to the color scheme and abstract style of Franz Marc's drawing. The painting depicts the emotional importance of color. The combination of contrasting colors, yellow and blue, create a lush and expressive work. The composition is composed of rectangular figures and lines that interact orthogonally and create a planned and multi-stage work. The main emphasis is built on two large rectangular figures in the conditional center of the work. These figures are compositionally supported by black figures and lines. The overall mood of the work is peaceful and static, this is created by the orthogonal grid of the composition. Another technique that makes the painting balanced and static is the overall proportion of the number of color spots in the work.
Alexandra Exter — Three Female Figures, 1910
A similar technique of balancing color spots can be found in Alexandra Exter's painting Three Female Figures. Alexandra Exter was a Russian Jewish avant-garde artist (cubo-futurism, suprematism), graphic artist, theater and film artist, and designer. A representative of the Ukrainian and Russian avant-garde, one of the founders of the Art Deco style.
Her canvas depicts, in addition to the author, two of her associates - Kiev friends Evgeniya Pribylskaya and Natalia Davydova, as well as the artist's dog. In this work, after the early still-lifes and landscapes, there is already a conventionality of representation, and Exter's main attention is paid to contrasting colors (here it is deep blue background and rich red in the clothes and hat of one of the models). The main technique of the painting is the use of large sections of local colors and their competent combination with each other so that the picture does not look fragmented and incomplete. SupremePunk repeats the technique of Exter's drawing. All the figures in the painting look harmonious and coherent, the proportional amount of yellow and blue is depicted in such a way that the viewer immediately understands the dominant and secondary colors of the painting.
David Bomberg — The Tent, 1923
Similarly to Bomberg's paintings, SupremPunk seeks to simplify forms as much as possible, discarding everything secondary and leaving only the "bare" construction. At first glance, the picture seems to be a mosaic-like pile of incomprehensible details, but after a closer look, the viewer is presented with an expanded picture depicting a particular process, moment, or action.
