Description

My piece revisits Van Gogh's "Meadow with Cows" as a contemplative allegory, using mixed media (acrylic on canvas board, hand-cut layers, and frame-by-frame digital animation) to create a superposition of realities. This subrealist approach deconstructs the original work to extract a philosophical essence: absolute respect for all forms of life, without falling into ideological extremes. - Physical painting: The acrylic layers symbolize the permanence of nature, while the cut-out layers evoke the fragility of ecosystems. - Digital animation: A metaphor for the passage of time, where each image reconstructs Van Gogh's vision into an infinite loop of regeneration. 2. Philosophical depth: Duality, coexistence, and the ethics of preservation Van Gogh, in his Dutch period, already captured the tension between humanity and nature. My reinterpretation pushes this duality toward a reflection on balance: - Respect without dogmatism: The work avoids simplistic activism to advocate an ethic of care, where each element (cows, grass, sky) coexists in dynamic harmony. - Duality of light and shadow: The digital animation highlights the cycles of destruction and rebirth, reminding us that life persists despite crises. - Concrete utopia: Xanthopsia becomes a perceptual filter, where yellow is not an illusion, but a choice to see beauty despite everything. 3. Connection with the Xanthopsia collection: An alchemy of perceptions This piece is in line with the logic of the Xanthopsia collection, where each work is a window onto an altered but optimistic reality: - Transformations of Van Gogh: Like him, I use color as pure emotion, but I integrate a digital dimension that updates his language. - Symbolic Maximalism: Acrylic and digital overlays create a visual saturation effect, reflecting the complexity of life. - Homage and Subversion: I don't copy Van Gogh; I converse with him, replacing his naturalism with a meditative abstraction. 4. Mixed Media: A Bridge Between Tradition and Innovation - Clipped Layers: An allusion to Matisse's cutouts, but applied to a digital aesthetic, blurring the lines between manual and virtual. - Stop-motion Animation: Each frame is a microscopic variation, evoking the imperceptible mutations of nature. Conclusion: An Artistic and Existential Manifesto "In Love with Life in All Its Forms" is much more than a reinterpretation: it's an act of poetic resistance. By merging Van Gogh, subrealism, and Xanthopsia, I propose a new visual grammar where: - Classical art becomes a contemporary playground. - Philosophy emerges through the superposition of techniques. - Positivity is not naive, but conquered. tribute to Van Gogh : Cows in the Meadow see original at: Museo Soumaya format / media / size / speed / timing / éditions : 3840 x 2160 px / 4k mp4 / 116 MB / 8 fps / 59s / 1/1
