About this artwork
“New Things” series is an attempt to define what painting would look like, if author returned FORM in the art.
A form that is no longer associated with the mimesis, i.e. is not an imitation of reality anymore.
The ability to freely manipulate the form, which was granted to people by new technologies and by quickly processing the coordinates of points in space, opens up unprecedented opportunities in the history of human civilization for plastic… arts.
Obviously, the founding fathers of abstract art, who consider form and mimesis as a limitation, could not imagine what kind of turn future would prepare.
Now we now know for sure, FORM is not a limitation, but new degrees of freedom.
