ARKIVIA BOOKS GRUNGE FLOWER TEXTURES 2
I have a dualistic theory of style and art and this allows me to determine one style as opposed to another.
This book develops designs in the floral world with a particular imprint called GRUNGE in opposition to a synthetic, iconographic, linear, geometric vision.
I could represent the flowers in different ways with regular lines demarcating the contours and shadows as in FASHION FLOWER TEXTURES or in a highly geometric synthesis as in TECNO POP or lines convoluted, complex and repetitive as in BLACK & WHITE MATRIX 3. In this volume instead I have created designs where the broken, smudged, sketchy sign is predominant and the backgrounds are irregular to the limit of abstraction.
In this gallery I have also included images with fresh strokes and watercolour stains because they express a touch of irregularity that is included in this new concept GRUNGE.
Indeed, expanding the initial concept of GRUNGE helps to find a common way of classifying a design within a larger family as opposed to the rational, tech, minimalist style prevailing in the world today. But it is a dual world that opposes rational to irrational, regular to irregular, geometric to abstract, linear-precise to GRUNGE.
And both styles are now functional to our need of representation and our way of being contemporary.
