Description

Conceptual Synthesis: "Nature is a Temple" – A Digital Archaeology of the Sacred 1. Subrealist and Unconventional Reinterpretation: Van Gogh in Post-Digital Movement My work "Nature is a Temple" revisits Van Gogh's Orchards in Bloom through a subrealist abstraction, where nature is no longer simply represented, but mythologized, sacralized through movement. By hybridizing acrylic painting (gestural, tactile) and minimalist digital animation (frames by frames), I create a dialectic between permanence and ephemerality, between the material trace (the canvas) and the immateriality of the pixel. - Subrealism: Neither entirely figurative nor entirely abstract, my approach deconstructs the classical perception of landscape to extract a vibrant essence, close to xanthopsia (yellow vision), which alters and transfigures reality. - Unconventional Homage: By manually cropping photographic layers of my physical painting, I practice "digital archaeology," delving into the layers of art history to unearth a new aura, halfway between Van Gogh's gesture and contemporary manual glitch. 2. Philosophy of Movement: Nature as an Animist Ritual Van Gogh sought to capture the vital energy of nature—my animation literally energizes it, making each frame an offering to the natural "temple." - Perpetual Movement: The minimalist animation (frame-by-frame) is not illustrative, but incantatory, sanctifying the cycle of the seasons, growth, and decay—a celebration of Buddhist impermanence revisited through the digital prism. - Duality and Coexistence: The superimposed layers (cut-out photography/digital painting) symbolize the tension between organicity and artifice, between the artist's hand and the implicit algorithm of digital technology. 3. Xanthopsia: Utopia in Perceptual Alteration The Xanthopsia collection transforms "yellow vision" (a neurological disorder often associated with Van Gogh) into a metaphor for dialectical positivity: - Altered Perception = New Clairvoyance: Yellow, Van Gogh's solar color, here becomes a utopian filter, revealing a harmony hidden beneath the tensions (the chaos of brushstrokes vs. the order of digital framing). - Glitch as Sacred: Digital artifacts (pixelation, distortions) are not errors, but ritual marks, comparable to Van Gogh's impasto—two eras conversing through matter and rupture. 4. Conclusion: A manifesto for art as a transcendent medium "Nature is a temple" goes beyond simple reinterpretation: it is a ritual of re-enchantment where: - Van Gogh becomes a bridge between the 19th century (the materiality of painting) and the 21st century (digital dematerialization). - Animation is an animist prayer, sanctifying nature not through dogma, but through movement—the only universal language capable of linking Klimt, Pollock, and the pixel. This work is part of an archaeology of the future: as Van Gogh dug the earth to extract light, I dig through data to reveal its hidden sacredness. This piece is not an end, but an altar—where classical art and digital technology burn together to illuminate our present.
