RE: Space-Warp Machine - a four-dimensional acrylic painting

in #art7 years ago (edited)

That quote... whenever the artist's inspiration is materialized in physical form, it's original idea is lost. Inevitably, parts of the idea are lost as well, since there are practical limits to what an artist can achieve in physical form, according to the used medium. The idea is "corrupted" by giving form to it. But, there are so many things to try today...

An artist can use a plethora of methods to communicate, not limited any more to one chosen medium: a painter can draw inspiration and base his work on 4-dimensional projections like you just did, or representation of imaginary numbers (fractals). Artists can supplement their works with sound, video, odors, performance, etc. The bridge between imaginary concepts and physical representations is narrower than ever before.

I wonder, how long is it before the artist can let us experience the exact idea he has in his mind and imagination, instead of just a representation of it?

Great work as always, very original and thought-provoking.
