My chaotic Quarterly
Never on time, hardly a quarterly
Greetings everyone, just a quick overview and artwork and music since the spring of last year.
Went to Portugal with my family last August and met my Portuguese half-brother, half-sister and the extended family, all of which I had never met before. I expected a small intimate meeting. Instead it was this:
We had a spectacular time at the family homestead, it was good to see relatives I had never met, or never knew existed before.
It turns out that my half-brother Lali, a math instructor at the University of Lille, is a musical talent, proficient on a whole bevy of instruments, and he regularly performs on flute in orchestral settings. Turns out his tastes are eclectic, and align with my own sensibilities, so we have been creating songs together, exchanging and combining sound files over the internet.
An example, “The Boy from Montreal”, but if you want to hear more, they can be found here.
In the realm of artwork, I shall break down the individual works into their respective media, displayed in the order of their creation, recent, first.
White on Black; these are digitally created, some more time-consuming than others, the fast and furious ones come under the heading of ‘News of the World’. This is a small selection, I have omitted titles. Size is irrelevant, as they are digital and thus scalable
Radiative Primarism: Digital artwork in the primary colors, yellow, red, blue. Each layer worked separately, the intensities of the three colors creating secondary colors with the three layers overlayed.
Primary Micropointillism: These are images on canvas, created with the primary colors Yellow, red and blue. All secondary colors are an illusion which brakes down as one approaches closer to the artwork.
That’s it for now; may all my subscriber remain healthy, happy and relatively sane.
