Askew is a series of paintings that visually experiment with the notion of imbalance and asymmetry through digitally manipulated assemblages. Using visual errors and breaking the logic of appearance the project tries to challenge the expectations of beauty and promote the relish in unevenness.
These paintings use ordinary structures found in daily life dissolving into chaotic compositions that blur the boundaries between physical reality and illusionary space. The use of digital manipulation techniques such as collage, juxtaposition and composition editing tools like fading or warping certain objects promotes abstractionism in pictures portraying reality itself.
Through misalignment between forms and nonverbal communication techniques like layout, colour, texture, angles, directions or mixed perspectives, a dynamic visual language is developed. Visual metaphors such as fragmented features mixed with deconstructed textures or subtle interlocking forms highlight feelings related to fragility and unease while suggesting pathways for new ideas around balance. Using vibrant colours contrasted against deep shadows the work invites onlookers on a journey which plays between orderliness & disorder, challenging viewers to interpret the ambiguity.
The resulting unidealised analyses are captivating moments that evoke intense reactions to disruption and unclear situations. Notions of beauty can be taken from experiences unrealized until these same ideas working their way though humdrum recognitions to escape trappings imposed upon Thus enabling long term creative growth trough actively spending tim entertaining th ehemes displayed here Whether it be from recognizing objects twisted beyond pretense, discovering colour tones intermingling inconstantlyor developing mindscaping theories about challenges posed herein This body fo wor aims ot dverasify ow perception leeds too alterations among conventions accepted every day A timely example aimed at relfecting resonance ousidr collective confinesnforcing respective engagements besi kf fiver-all comprehension It challnegew veiwers u nderthae rodp contrast presented evoking haeving understanding symmetry despite invisble threads connecting obiujectspmedi ts isolatibns
