Estava vasculhando o blogspot em um domingo solitário qualquer e achei um blog muito interessante. Flour (cujo link você encontra ao lado) é um blog dos irmãos Peter e Thomas Herpich. Ambos são artistas e postam sua arte no blog. Na humilde opinião deste empregado de empresa pública, acho o trabalho dos caras bem bacana.
Dentre as várias peças que se encontram lá, me espantei com o trabalho acima. Trata-se de um conjunto de hexágonos, pintados pelo Peter de forma livre e depois utilizados como um mosaico, no intuito de alcançar outra forma a partir da face pintada.
Acho que melhor que eu, só o próprio para explicar. Segue o que Peter disse:
"A few years back, I was feeling frustrated about how many of my (abstract) paintings were coming out poorly. The process I was using - layering poured house paint in layers of gradually increasing thickness - made it almost impossible to correct mistakes or salvage a painting that had veered in a direction I became unhappy with. I was upset about the waste of time and materials and I began looking for a more flexible method.
I remembered a toy I played with a child. It was a mosaic of wooden cubes that were painted differently on each side, just like this one. I remembered how much I enjoyed exploring different compositions without having to commit to any of them and how the materials could be reused as many times as I liked.
I decided to create a set of blocks for myself, but with more pictorial versatility than the simple colored blocks I'd played with as a child. I chose a hexagonal prism block because its six sides allow more possible combinations (without painting on more than one side of the block) than a square (possibly the most). I grouped a number of the blocks (each about four inches across, I think) into honey-comb arrangements and painted loose, free-form compositions across them, concentrating on getting a variety of colors and shades as well as some areas of illusory depth. The groups were then dispersed and used as pieces to an open-ended puzzle.
In a few cases I painted not an abstract composition on the grouping, but a realistic self portrait, hoping these recognizable elements might act as binding agents for what I expected would otherwise be very loosely representational pictures".
Sensacional. Não deixem de conferir o blog dos caras.
