    About the Artwork

    Distortions on black Series

    A series of work which exists somewhere between physical sculptures and altered documentation images. A conceptual sketch that retains its purpose. Each piece begins its life as an abstract painting which is then brought into a digital file, of which countless variations exist. These are then rendered to create using (post-internet art) sensibilities that applies the with the unpredictability of the digital medium, wherein the application of digital materiality provides capabilities that can afford or constrain actions. These are then supposed to be converted into precision woodcut so they appear with the depth and presence of a sculpture. A notion on creating media and digital art.

    New media art is usually defined as a genre that encompasses artworks created with new media technologies. Coming from the Entertainment industry, digital art became a means to make the ends – creating work to serve a bigger picture of the movie or the game, a visual skeleton to produce an aesthetic whole, collateral to a story.
    Abstraction in digital art is a simple expression of the complex thought. The impact of the unequivocal. There is no such thing as good painting about nothing. We assert that the subject is crucial and only that subject matter is valid which is tragic and timeless. Seemingly a fallacy when our perspective on art highly suggests on the tools and materials we create from, the work aims to form a spiritual kinship with the medium. To treat the immateriality of the digital, to create works of art. So far what the process has given me is the freedom to create visual within itʼs almost limitless boundaries. Giving the artist the freedom to create spontaneously then after finding its meaning. To use the digital medium as a tool thatʼs not available when using acrylic, oil, paper, pen. Perhaps, the biggest game-changer the digital has given us: UNDO.

    About the Artist

    ZAR (0270501) is foremost inspired primarily by the art movements of abstract expressionism and gutai, and almost as a contrast, expresses its response from its own individuality. The two main art movements are responses to the culture that were present in their existence. The countries that these movements emerged from was still reeling from the collapse of world order, triggering a major influence for the
    movementsʼ artists – many of whom still remembered the experiences that afforded them the opportunity to develop, search, and respond to the societal uncertainty. A represented radical and energetic approach to art-making that took advantage of the newly found freedoms to move forward from the depression of war to the newly democratic freedom available to their homeland.

    As ZAR is based from the representation of modern Manila, the society mirrors the survival of creativity. In the days of celebrity in art where the artistʼs lifestyle becomes a motif, an extension of the artwork itself, ZAR cultivates an aura of secrecy further exploring the notions of obscurity the world and the internet landscape provided. The secrecy becomes an ironic state of affairs given their total absence from the scene – perhaps suggesting a more realistic representation and connection both to the art and artist.
