Encouraged by my Tutor to incorporate colour with “emotional marks” I developed several works. I’m going to share some conclusions and ideas which came to my mind.
· A right emotion not always easy to get. For instance being very tired I’m not able to reach the negative feeling. It’s mean I would need to work at the exact moment of this emotion.
· Material which I used during this experiment has been available in my studio. But my conclusion is – if I get a strong emotion at this point I already would not be able to take my time and mix the colour or prepare the canvas. In other words, if I want to represent a particular sensation, then a material better to be ready for work, otherwise, there is no time for long preparation.
· Size of work is a big part in a drawing/painting process and appreciation as well. Clearly, when limited with an A4 format it is a certain limitation when compared with a bigger size. I felt more comfortable to work on the 128 x 60 cm. Taobao box than on the 24 x 18 cm. canvas.
Now, I want to separate the elements which build the impression and reflect on a prior experience with objects and shapes.
· Material in use. All ready-made objects including canvas, paper, etc. are contained own history and background. Using these materials allow representing specific art-field which normally dominated by this material. For example paper the most representational for drawing and canvas for painting. When suddenly artist change this initial matter to the "unoriginal", let’s say stone or any used box then viewer most likely start observation from this object as it is different from the norm.
When we talk about material which involved in mark making process most likely spectator will judge starting from the big colour stain and moving towards the smaller parts.
· Process making. With the development of conceptual art, I believe the process itself sometimes overtaking the result. At the same place, a process making can't come across so special. Reasons for this are two: or the final piece is not giving hints for this, or the viewer was not interested enough to think about the process of creation.
· Lines and Marks. Each mark has its own character. Straight, geometric forms will bring order and system in a composition, an oval and round forms – softness and feeling of flow. The intensity of the tone endows marks different connotation. Bold or thin line and plane colour can stand for different.
As long as a viewer cannot recognize any familiar object (abstract art) we can be sure – he is searching or forming inside of himself a new reflection. This new response will be based on his previous experience and the wider it is the better.
· Colour combination. What is colour? Is it a reflected light or is it a property of an object? Malevich in his book “Black square” described the connection between form and colour. For him, there is no form without physical and emotional relation to colour. Again but a source of light was not considered as a main root of the form and colour.
It is obvious that colour has a connection with emotional, culture, age, gender dependencies. Studies show the relation with sociology, space, purchase activities and other areas of our life.
Yet my personal belief is there are no object and colour without a light. My interest is spinning around the problem of a black room without the light where the question is what colour can be presented in a full darkness? A form we can feel through tactile sensations but colour?
I see colour like a substance which is not constant and a limit of seen this only in our ability to define waves of the colour spectrum. As insects and animals can see further than ultraviolet and infrared (is an opposing spectrum of what normally man can see) here is a question - can’t mankind see any longer than this level?
· The way of presentation. Icons on the road. Graffiti in the church. Framed painting in the caves. Mural painting in the Museum. Sound wrong, right? But who is judging? History, tradition, norms are obliged us for respect and order.
All art objects listed above have their places of representation. Though Museum became a universal place for the everything which automatically named as an Art.
