As stated in Stedelijk museum, “the abstraction of reality moves the focus from what is depicted as main factor to how it is depicted”. The works presented here are part of a series of oil paintings entitled “The sun of nothing”.
System (top left), abstract thought (bottom left), geometric rain (centre), and the Kandinsky experience machine (right).
The sun of nothing is inspired by the Suprematism art movement, in particular the work of Kazimir Malevich. It is also inspired by the ideas of Wassily Kandinsky, and his form/colour relationships (circles = blue, squares = red, triangles = yellow).
Thorpe Brown recommends that you explore these pieces while listening to the album “Islands” by King Crimson or the album “Colors” by Between the Buried and Me, for enhanced, though qualitatively different, abstract experiences.
