The Epsom Derby

Digital Fragments 214: The Epsom Derby by Denis Leclerc from the Art Treasures collection is a whimsical, adlib interpretation of Gericault’s The Epsom Derby, featuring abstract shapes that appear to effortlessly float in mid-air, creating an ethereal and imaginative visual experience.

Created in 1821 during an extended visit to the UK, the original masterpiece is one of Gericault’s most recognized works. What’s fascinating is how it captures the energy and excitement of the Derby of that year, a horse race that was a grand spectacle in its time. The painting showcases Gericault’s mastery of the Romanticist style, where the horses’ legs are extended, and rear legs appear to be in the air, failing to cast shadows on the ground, creating a sense of movement and dynamism that is truly captivating.

Why venture into exploring the works of other artists? Simply put, every interpretation, every reimagination unveils a unique perspective, breathing new life into timeless classics. It goes beyond mere appreciation; it’s about immersing oneself, living and perceiving art through the diverse eyes of various creators.

Mandelbrot

Inspired by Mandelbrot’s fractal, the shapes of this composition is based on simple rules that produce complex results. The result is an image in constant transformation that is never the same twice even though the primitive form remains the same: the circle.

The works are a metaphor for the way change occurs in our lives. The changes can be small and gradual, like the circles that grow or shrink, or they can be sudden and radical, like the rings that appear and disappear. Sometimes changes are predictable, like the changing of the seasons, and sometimes they come without warning, like a natural disaster.

Mandelbrot is an entry to the International Digital Miniprint Exhibition 17.

The Seduction of AI

 

According to experts, artificial intelligence should replace all human activities and free us from repetitive tasks. In order to be accepted, AI is often portrayed as an android at our service. However, scientists believe that AI will inevitably overtake the human species and that we will become a half carbon, half silicone creature.
Intelligent Aphrodite and The Seduction of AI are reflections on the seductive power of the beauty of AI. As if the innocence of beauty cannot disguise a more sordid reality.

Lady Hamilton

This vector composition presents an interpretation of Georges Romney’s portrait of Lady Hamilton. Inside Tate Britain, a small portrait of Lady Hamilton exists, depicting the renowned beauty as Circe in George Romney’s study.

In a tribute to Piero Fornasetti and his muse Lina Cavalieri, this artwork creatively transforms the original painting into a half-tone image.

 

Entanglement

Entanglement

Entanglement explores the ambiguity inherent in the creative process by privileging the random to the detriment of the subject. Its organic and unfinished character pays tribute to abstract expressionism, especially the practice of dripping popularized by Jackson Pollock. The entanglement of colored filaments also recalls the network of neuron and axon extensions.

In another order of ideas, entanglement is part of the current philosophical reflexion related to quantum mechanics. In particular, to the theory of probabilities where the existence of a phenomenon is related to the experience of the viewer where two contradictory states coexist (Schrödinger’s cat’s paradox). The ambivalence of the work — painting, sculpture or weaving — invites the spectator to wonder about the superficiality of classifications and genres (fine arts or crafts) and to accept the existence of simultaneous states and multiple universes.
