generating compositions by
'mono-print-plus' techniques and more besides
For all who may be interested in exploring notions of originality.
Improvisation and simple to use methods for the invention of new compositions.
Consistantly affording original possibilities for visual and other media applications.
Drawing from scratch to hatch, description, definition and dynamic delineation.
Imaginative inventions by illusion for achieving allusions.
View points according with perspectives and compositional constructions.
Applications of design devices according with intrinsic purposes.
Transformations of ideas through transposed images tends to encourage a dynamic sense of freshness and novelty through processes of origination, research and exploitation.
Techniques for making some surprising images by transpositions and transformations;
generating novel visual ideas for imaginatively enlarging possibilities,
original approaches and inventions using additional design forming materials;
composition by mono-print and multi-media and to devise one's own techniques.
Experiments with various materials for making colours
optical properties possibilities of colour material, vehicles, solvents; and supports'
effects produced by different manipulations and colour techniques, with
happy accidents as useful distinguishing artwork improvisations.
Observations on account of curiosity and recognition.
Perceptions, impressions, perspectives and conjectures,
by means of imagination, originated in the moment of its making artwork.
As significant in comparative terms and complimentary with many cultural activities previously created and to be created.
Germination of artworks ideas through preparatory explorations
in studio experiments, forming potential finished artworks,
prospects for developments, improvisations
envisaged, venues considerations and planning with exhibitions possibilities in mind.
"....whatever deserves the name of artistic imagination can rise only from a creative process. The hand does not
execute something which the mind could have formed previously, but rather the process in which the hand engages is a further stage of a single indivisible process."
Conrad Fiedler (b.1841-d.1895)
"..The scientist discovers elements of things, if you like, and the artist, with elements having no value in the place they chance to be, composes, invents a unity, in a word, creates; he strikes the imagination of men by the spectacle of his creations, and in a particular manner. He summarizes, he renders clear the sensations that things arouse within us, and which the great run of men, in the presence of nature, only vaguely see and feel."
from the journal of Eugene Delacroix dated 2nd September 1854 while at Dieppe
Concerning matters of expressive drawing, medium and message, coincidences and constructions.
The eye of the imagination conjectures compositions, develops notions with and from graphic gestures, as language in a culture.
Delineating some workable graphic methods for novel inventions,
describing and exploring possibilities at the cutting edge of the imagination, outlines, inlines, dynamics, motion, emotion and space composition
by way of definition, resonance, reason and transformations.
Describing the intangible and substantially by way of the imagination.
Working from the known and handling risk at the extremes of research, development and production.
"...while Newton’s theory that the whole range of natural colour may be built up from the three primaries was applied by Jacob-Christophe Le Bron (1667-1741) soon after 1710, to the multiple-plate method [of printing]. Le Bron used three messotint plates in order to reproduce in full colour portraits and subjects after the Old Masters. His work clearly foreshadows modern three-colour process reproduction, even to the extent of on occasion a fourth plate inked with black in order to obtain greater depth and richness. "
from The Oxford Companion to Art , 1970, edited by Harold Osborne
Attuning motivation and curiosity towards awareness of coincidental possibilities.
Purposeful comprehension and development of coherant consiquences
expression of concept as and by means of an original event.
Using exposition, resonance, reason, criticism and transformations,
dealing with matters of purpose, expression and exposition with intent.
( Time spent in reconnaissance is seldom time wasted and action brings good fortune.)
" In the 1940s intellectuals used to talk about a 'crisis of conscience'. This was more than a question of moral values, it was also a crisis about the role of intelligence and imagination, a crisis of interior values. Today, there seems to be a crisis of objectivity. This crisis of objectivity seems to ask questions as to what art is all about at the present time. What exactly, is the function we demand of it? What do we hope of it, what are the emotions we invest in it? "
Kenneth Coutts-Smith, from 'The Dream of Icarus' Hutchinson, 1970.
