The Palette
I opted to give the piece a more vivid, bluish tone with increased contrast in order to create an eye-catching effect. I then constructed a palette consisting of ten hues of blue, violet, and white to illustrate the depth of each shape through their variations of gradients.
The Strokes
The application of paint was intended to be coarse and unrefined, with conspicuous brushstrokes that illustrate the process of its formation. The paint was manipulated and agitated with a palette knife and it was imperative to not be overly meticulous with the application, so long as the colours and shades were consistent with the overall image. To provide contrast, the thin painting was employed along the boundaries to complement the pallet knife’s vigorous strokes and tie back to the source animation.
The Style
This piece draws inspiration from the oeuvre of Picasso, yet it was crafted in a manner not typically associated with his work. It serves to illustrate that perfection does not always lie in neatness and precision.
The Symbolism
This artwork by Jonny Lawrence represents his inaugural foray into Phygital art.
Featuring a bull and a bird – a symbolic nod to the title ‘Fight || Flight’ – the title itself is a clever play on words, replacing the traditional ‘or’ with ‘||’ to illustrate the shift of art into a new era, melding code and technology, and breathing new life into styles such as cubism. As such, these new art movements should be embraced and encouraged, not resisted.
The Concept
The initial design was developed digitally, but when it came to bringing it into the physical realm, I sought to infuse it with texture and dimensionality, something that is not so readily achievable through digital art.
