how i am seeing autumn.

The amount of techniques that you can employ to disrupt or break up a visual field are immense. These images have a deep resonance within me since I have viewed them in every stage of my life since I was born. They have remained the same but have changed at the same time throughout the years. Both paintings were done by a family friend of mine from Poland. The first one is akin to seeing the outside world from 'inside' a screen or a electronic device (notice the pixelation) The second one is an exploding tree. Each cell or pixel is made up from the entirety of the image itself. The shading of each cell is what creates the illusion of it being 'whole'.
These two pieces carry me to a mysterious and nostalgic place. This is what autumn is to me. [Self similarity and generation loss]
