Mondrian is probably rolling in his grave. Whatever. I know that squares with color in them are not all that Neoplasticism is all about but I am pretty sure it’s close to all that it’s about and so I just added in a naked lady and some of those palm fronds everyone likes and also yes there are some aliens and alligators in there as well and everyone is just having a grand old time. No but seriously this piece is about experimenting with how to incorporate the figure (ie naked lady) into an abstract composition. I admit I was thinking of Klimnt as well and also that goddess character from that web comic I habitually neglect to update.
The composition feels kind of all over the place, but I felt it was important to stay loose. At least it’s not 100% scribbles like you’ve probably been starting to expect from me.
For music this time I was listening to WMBR 88.1‘s February 20th broadcast of Subject to Change, which was an excellent program and I suggest you all go listen to it.
Loose composition? Why not, it’s what’s making this so vital. I also like the colors and alligators, but can’t see any of the aliens mentioned (where are they?). Also, no cadmium, right? ;)
No cadmium, at least I’m pretty sure there is no cadmium. I don’t actually know for sure what pigments are used in the pastels. The aliens are the little green circles with lines coming out the bottoms of them.
Ah, thanx for answering! I kinda thought those were abstract trees when I looked at the piece first, but now I see your aliens… I somehow find it scary not to know what pigments and stuff are in pastels + paints (yeah, I’m paranoid still), but since you don’t eat them and just use them to make something beautiful, I try not to think of that fact too much.
