 The problem with modern art is that we’ve allowed homogeneity to take over. Despite having the entire world’s knowledge at our fingertips, we’ve resigned ourselves to a flat and drab monotony. We disguise this behind “best practices”. But in reality, we’ve put our creative impulses inside a cage. Frankly, I’m bored. 10 comments
 @atomicpoet I like it. It's a slice of life. High-contrast photography is usually harsh. It evokes a reaction. It's hard to ignore. It's even harder to say, "That's nice, don't forget the milk on the way home."  @atomicpoet I LOVE high-contrast black and white. Definitely more interesting than the pablum that goes for corporate messaging illustration these days.  @atomicpoet @atomicpoet I don't find it disturbing. I keep trying to squint 😆 enough to see what the light is hiding.  @atomicpoet The high contrast reminds me of WW2-era recon photography. Except those were mostly aerial shots and a few side profiles of military and industrial things. The way some details disappear and emphasis shifts from the expected to other objects makes your images interesting to look at. Like, I know what I'm looking at, but I never looked at it like that. @atomicpoet Homogenized is less likely to offend. Take a risk. No matter what anyone does some will object, some will worship the ground they walk on, most will take it in stride. @atomicpoet while I encourage people to talk and engage in the conversation of art, all I hear about "corporate art for the internet" is I think unwarranted. I can see why people get their assumptions, but it also shows that art education also has some utillity to the average person. 😅 |

Years ago, I embarked on a quest to create a whole new aesthetic that I called “Sizz”.
People found it disturbing. Even now.
But slowly a community formed around it.
I don’t regret offending people with high contrast black and white.
At least, this art is imbued with a piece of me.
