Description

My work "Versatile Model" revisits Van Gogh's "Head of a Man" by hybridizing physical painting (oil pastel on canvas) and digital (stop-motion animation). This mixed approach creates a subrealist abstraction—neither entirely figurative nor purely abstract—where the organic texture of pastel interacts with digital fluidity, symbolizing the permanent metamorphosis of human identity. - Subrealism: Here, Van Gogh's realism is fractured by digital distortions, evoking the multifaceted nature of a being. - Meditative Black Pixel: This central point acts as a vortex, a reminder of the tension between chaos (Van Gogh's energetic strokes) and harmony (digital ripples). 2. Philosophical Allegory: Art as a Celebration of Versatile Life My title "Versatile Model" goes beyond mere representation to become an existential metaphor: - Van Goghian Duality: Van Gogh captured contrasts (light/shadow, joy/melancholy). My reinterpretation extends this idea by showing that the human is a constantly recomposed model. - The Xanthopsia collection (yellow vision) refers to altered perception—a nod to Van Gogh's troubles, but also to a utopian quest for positivity. - Cardboard vs. Pixel: The raw support recalls the materiality of existence, while animation evokes the ephemeral—a dialectic between permanence and flux. Mixed Media: Dialogue Between Eras and Mediums : - Physical Painting: Oil pastel, with its grain and opacity, embodies the flesh of reality, the human trace. - Digital layer: The animation breaks down the face into sequences, suggesting that identity is a never-ending film. - Non-mimetic homage: Rather than copying Van Gogh, I attempt to extract his essence—his creative fury—to project it into a post-digital aesthetic. Conclusion: In short, "Versatile Model" is much more than a reinterpretation: it is an alchemical ritual where the physical and the digital, the past and the present, merge to re-enchant the human condition. The Xanthopsia collection, by its very title, invites us to see differently—to find, like Van Gogh, light in the disorder of the world. tribute to Van Gogh : Head of a Man see original at: Van gogh Museum format / media / size / speed / timing / éditions : 2160 x 3840 px / 4k mp4 / 116 MB / 8 fps / 59s / 1/1
