| Romantic Utopia - digital art - © 2014, Werner Hornung |
Well, it's time for another interlude... and as I haven't featured any contemporary (2-D) artists in a long time, I'd like to present two amazing artists I came across recently on the web; each a transdimensionalist in his own way.
The first is the German-born digital artist Werner Hornung, an honorary member of the Russian Academy of Fine Arts, whose artistic career began in Paris in the early 1970s and continues there till this day.
His digital work is intricate, dramatic, surreal and multi-dimensional. I am particularly drawn to Romantic Utopia above, but it represents merely one example of the mysterious and multi-layered magic inherent in his work; most especially when the images come to life in an animated .gif format on his must-see website. He also has an exhibit at MOCA's virtual museum, and more of his enigmatic images can be found here and here.

The second artist I present to you is the Portuguese visionary, and sacred geometer, Joma Sipe. I don't think I've seen any geometrical work in the past that even compares to his masterful (and meticulous) drawings. He uses gold and silver ink on a black background and then goes so far as to embed small crystals in his images, illuminating them in such a way that the effect is truly breathtaking. His subject matter includes many of the geometric and esoteric symbols discussed in my previous post plus numerous others, so he's particularly relevant here. Above is just a tiny sampling of his work - a visionary's view of the stars - but to truly experience the magic of Joma Sipe, I recommend visiting his website, or his YouTube channel, where the two videos (below) featuring his work were found.
Incredible artwork....the geometry of Joma Sipe is so damned intricate....a case of the human mind/body producing something that is akin to magic.
ReplyDeleteAnd Hornung's work on his website displays what digital art can BE in motion, set truly upon an electric canvas.
A most fascinating and wonderful interlude! Thank you.
You're most welcome! And, yes, you've pretty much nailed it. The work of both artists boggle the mind.
DeleteAs for my "interludes," well, I hope they're entertaining enough because I'm about to put up another.
Thanks so much for your comments and for the description of my work! It is for people like you that i continue producing and transforming the inner inspiration into phisical drawings. All the Light!
ReplyDeleteI was so surprised and honored to see your comment here; you are truly a gentleman. The exquisiteness of your work goes without saying. I am only too happy to have the opportunity to feature it here. So, thank you; may your Light shine all the more brightly, and forever!
DeleteThanks! I am the one that is honored to feature on your website and delighted to read your comments...I am working on a new series that is called "The Chapels of Silence" that are completed and will be added soon to my website. These are large canvas, 1,50x1,0m, on the same style.
ReplyDeleteThe Chapels of Silence - sounds wonderful and intriguing... looking forward to it!
