5 Principles Study (1)

From what I can gather regarding my two chosen principles, that of utilizing your creative brain and the development of visual language; the main message or idea that gets transferred across to the audience, and how the general work and thought processes of Principle 2 relate to my own is in the way that both the ‘left and right sides of the brain’ are given equal amounts of control when it comes to exploring both the creative elements and the utilization of them within a logical methodology.

This in turn makes my work compare with Rodrigo Vega, who’s conceptualized forms of life are based upon a true form, which then metamorphosis into beings of his own creation and his own working mind. Although maintaining a degree of license, he also adds a mathematical approach to the overall realism, allowing for correct weight distribution and aerodynamics.

This type of artwork is produced to insight an inner curiosity that is often found within the playful mind, but once applied to a scientific basis it is heightened by both evolutionary curiosities and fantasy fanatics alike into the realms of hyper-realism which is within a very exclusive category.

When moving onto the subject of Principle 3, that is the Development of Visual Language, it is important to ultimately understand the main basis of quite a varied and wide-ranging principle. The most essential thing that must be taken into full account when approaching this area of thinking is to understand what ideas, thoughts, dreams and fears are felt and shared with all human beings, regardless of their ethnicity, cultural background, race, gender and national identity. 

A few examples of common thought explorations that everyone has at least given a glancing thought about,  putting an end to war, the importance of religious ideas and beliefs in an increasingly knowledge-expanding/science-based society; or even the lack off critical thinking within highly segregated religions, more commonly in situated places on Earth such as the middle east and the American bible belt; and of course the inevitable event of death, whether too early in life or within a centuries length of waiting, keeps us alert and willing to try and live with happiness and ambition in our hearts (also opposite ideas that life doesn’t amount to anything and is therefore of no value is also commonly followed and believed by many people living within conditions not fit for occupation).

One artist who’s art allows for multiple interpretations of each piece of finely detailed work is a Norwegian named Einherja. His/her art (as gender is not specified) contains imagery that is inspired by depiction of fantasy landscapes as well as dreamscapes primarily; but through each piece of work there might be a central idea or concept behind the seemingly bizarre characters and settings.

Though whatever intended idea may be lost due to a lack of context for the pieces; it instead allows for multiple interpretation of whatever elements are present within each varied image.

A key feature to developing visual language is to allow the viewer to think and decifer your work in a way that leads to the ideas generated from the piece to evolve and wander into new and unexpected directions.
