Description

The Xanthopsia collection, and in particular the piece “Pixels are budding”, is located at the intersection of Van Gogh’s legacy and the innovation of contemporary artistic practices. This work reinterprets “Chestnut Trees in Bloom” in an approach that combines traditional and digital techniques, inscribing its reflexivity in the field of subrealist art and the abstraction that results from it. The result is a subtle dialogue between past and present, where the materiality of painting combines with the fluidity of digital technology to reveal a new allegory: that of the spring renewal of digital art. On a formal level, the use of a central black pixel constitutes the point of meditation of the work; it symbolizes both the seed of chaos and the origin of a latent harmony. This presence suggests a dialectical tension, recalling the eternal duality between darkness and light, chaos and order, thus posing the fundamental question of the inner balance of human existence. The abundance of plant elements, recalling life in full bloom, counterbalances this dark core and invites the viewer to meditative contemplation: apparent disorder blossoms into a system of intrinsic beauty. Philosophically, this work is part of a critique of the art market by reminding us that the value of art goes far beyond financial considerations. It questions the way in which technological innovation and contemporary modes of perception allow us to renew our connection with classical works. The Xanthopsia collection, whose title evokes a "yellow vision", offers a sensory and psychological altitude - an alteration of perception that promotes positivity even in the dark. This process of transforming the gaze thus invites the public to rethink art as a plurivocal experience, capable of transcending historical and economic constraints to offer an opening towards multiple interpretations. The allegory of renewal and digital flourishing thus takes on its meaning in this fusion of techniques and approaches: the homage to Van Gogh is not simply a decorative reinterpretation, but rather a questioning of the very nature of art. By confronting the physical and the digital, the work explores the future of contemporary art, which is built on the constant reinvention of forms and techniques, while remaining anchored in a tradition of emotional intensity and the search for meaning. In short, “Les pixels herbenent” offers a renewed reading of a pivotal moment in Van Gogh’s work, where the past dialogues with the present to evoke the complexity and richness of human experience. In doing so, it reminds us how art, in the era of the digital revolution, retains its intrinsic capacity to transform and transcend time, by cultivating emotions and reflections that, despite economic vicissitudes, are always intended to bring renewal and hope. tribute to Van Gogh : blossomin chestnut trees see original at: Kröller-Müller Museum format / media / size / speed / editions 2160 x 3840 px / mp4 / 111 MB / 8 fps / 1/1
