Description

1. Subrealist Reinterpretation and Unconventional Abstraction "Around the Communnity" is an abstract and subrealist reinterpretation of Van Gogh's The New Church and Old Houses of The Hague, where architecture and landscape become pretexts for a meditation on the perpetual movement of human and artistic communities. The work combines: - Acrylic paint on canvas (expressionist gestures, abstract impasto textures, a tribute to Van Gogh) - Manual photographic cutouts (digitized layers, cut out like archaeological remains) - Minimalist frame-by-frame animation (minimalist chromatic breathing as a ritual of transformation) This technical hybridity creates a "digital archaeology," where traditional pictorial material interacts with digital artifacts, questioning the sustainability of art in the post-digital era. ------------------------- 2. Philosophy of Movement and the Sacralization of Life Animation is not a simple tool, but an act of sacralization: - Perpetual movement evokes the vitality of communities (artistic, urban), in a dialectic between permanence (the church, a historical symbol) and ephemerality (houses, human flows). - The xanthopsic vision (yellow alteration) transforms Van Gogh's melancholy into a luminous utopia, where even the shadows carry the seeds of positivity. This approach is part of a phenomenology of feeling: art cannot be understood, it must be experienced, through the vibration of colors and the trembling of hand-painted pixels. ------------------------- 3. The Xanthopsia Collection as a Dialectical Laboratory "Around the Commune" is part of the Xanthopsia series, where each piece explores: - Duality (order/chaos, tradition/innovation) - Coexistence (matter/virtual, human/machine) ------------------------- Conclusion: A Ritual Art for the Digital Age "Around the Commune" is not a simple reinterpretation, but a visual ceremony where: - Painting becomes prayer (sacred gesture), - Manual Glitch becomes mantra (liberating rupture), - Animation becomes breath (cyclical movement of life). By reactivating Van Gogh through the prism of the post-internet, the work poses a fundamental question: How can art remain a living medium in an increasingly dematerialized world? Its answer lies in this alchemical fusion between the flesh of painting and the spirit of the digital.
