Description

Artistic and Philosophical Conceptualization - Subrealist and Unconventional Abstraction: The work is distinguished by its subrealist approach, a term that evokes an abstraction that delves into the depths of the unconscious while remaining anchored in a distorted reality. It borrows from Van Gogh's iconography but transposes it into a universe where shapes and colors are freed from the constraints of realism. The title, "A Booty to Converse with a Mirage in a Sea of Sand," suggests a vain but poetic quest, where the booty symbolizes the fragments of dreams or hopes that we attempt to grasp in an elusive world. - Mixed Media and Organic Dimension: The work combines acrylic paint, digital elements, and a minimalist architectural structure made of cardboard and wood. This layering of techniques creates an organic, three-dimensional dimension without the use of 3D modeling tools, which reinforces the human, emotional, and sensory aspect of the project. Van Gogh's original painting is thus reinterpreted through layers of textures and forms that evoke a fragmented yet deeply moving reality. - Duality and Coexistence in Nature: In his original work, Van Gogh explores the tensions between man and nature, between work and spirituality. This reinterpretation deepens this duality by introducing a central black pixel, which acts as a point of meditation. This pixel symbolizes both chaos and harmony, darkness and light, inviting the viewer to contemplate the contradictions of human existence. The abundance of surrounding life, represented by touches of color and texture, contrasts with this black point, creating a visual dialogue between emptiness and fullness, the tangible and the intangible. - Homage to the Symbolists and Surrealists: The work follows in the footsteps of Symbolist poets like Baudelaire and Rimbaud, who sought to transcend reality to achieve the ideal. It also evokes the surrealists, for whom the unconscious was an infinite space to explore. By reinterpreting Van Gogh through this prism, the work invites a meditative contemplation, where art becomes a means of transcending the limits of reality to reach a form of inner truth, it also refers to the virtual treasure seeker in role-playing games who have the vocation to fill their loot with the numerous short stories of their quest. tribute to Van Gogh : The sower (after Millet) see original at: Kröller-Müller Museum format / media / size / speed / éditions 2160 x 3840 px / mp4 / 116 MB / 8 fps / 1/1
