”time reversal – second edition [Collage]“ [digital Art, 1st December 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
My latest ‘time reversal’ [second editions] artworks encompass complex ideas.
Namely through time, watchmaking, spirituality, sentience, ancient writings, empires, self analysis, geology, locality, calculation (positive/negative), conservation, economics, mechanotidal effects (habitat destruction), a true green revolution (non-finite resources), art itself, personalism, past art masters, popular movies and even famed writers.
I feature my “M Art Life” emblem in similar style to recent works.
Here is “Orange” a SolarScape work, two of the Collage pieces seen immediately above:
”time reversal – second edition [Orange]“ [digital Art, 1st December 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Next we have “Monochrome” where my quotation takes on a mostly 3D quality (by selective chance):
”time reversal – second edition [Monochrome]“ [digital Art, 1st December 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Then the original in Green:
”time reversal – second edition [Green]“ [digital Art, 1st December 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
I wanted my second editions of “time reversal” to be beautiful.
Hopefully you feel I have achieved this in these works.
”convenient tasty snacks – Original in Yellow“ [digital Art, 27th November 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
As any Pop Art aficionado will know with my recent works since September 2023 I am drawing up my inner Basquiat inspiration.
These two blog articles wrote in July 2015 by me will show you my love for Jean-Michel’s works. You can always read these articles after this blog post. Articles shown in chronological order:
”convenient tasty snacks – Original in Yellow“ shown above formed from one word.. ‘convenient’.
Convenient like the Earth growing an adundance of tasty foods we love to combine in sophisticated culinary ways to produce incredible meals and drinks.
I wanted to celebrate this in an artwork, Basquiat style.
Prior to making the artwork <past the midnight hour> I happily enjoyed a documentary on the engineering feat of the ‘South-to-North Water Diversion Project in China’.
For instance, Beijing has a population of twenty one million people! Just think about how much food and water is needed. The Earth is truly amazing.
Good engineering works by humans is also amazing.
”convenient tasty snacks – Solarscape“ [digital Art, 27th November 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
I did two further editions of my artwork, immediately above is ”convenient tasty snacks – Solarscape“. My solarscape versions always become vibrant, cool works on the digital canvas. To be honest I would love to see these in physical form, silkscreen prints would be wonderful.
Lastly I did a Monochrome version for a contrast between the colour editions, ”convenient tasty snacks – Monochrome“ is shown immediately below:
”convenient tasty snacks – Monochrome“ [digital Art, 27th November 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
With ”convenient tasty snacks – Monochrome“ it was quite difficult to balance the tones, whilst retaining the verbal messaging.
Some of the messaging I wish to explain is the inclusion of Roman numerals. This is purely a Picasso influence-idea in the work! I feel subconsciously I included the popular laughter word ‘KEKW’ to highlight the playfulness of my imagery.
Subsidy street is a reference to engineering in terms of safety for cities and also a connection to the modern phenomena of world economies spiralling into further debt.
The light seemingly blazing through the canvas in Monochrome is a direct simile to my much earlier work in 2012, shown here in a blog article of 2019:
”subcutaneous differentiation mechanotide“ [Original in Red edition, digital Art, 24th November 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
I hadn’t felt inspired in terms of my art for quite some weeks really.
This artwork idea became a mindful thought earlier this morning (24th November). Although to produce a work referencing the word “ziggurat” was actually something I wanted to do months ago.
With my inspiration this morning I began constructing the artwork on a canvas in my mind. Linking ‘ziggurat’ with ‘mechanotide’ and asking a question..
.. Which effect is most damaging to the Earth?
An hour later or so I recorded a few words. Me personally saying [precisely and slowly] “mechanotide ziggurat differention“
Here is a computer generated version for you to listen to:
”mechanotide ziggurat differention“ [Vocals by a popular <Text-to-Speech> service, digitally produced using my three original words combined in the title, 24th November 2023], mp3 format.
Now let’s take a look at my B&W Monochrome edition:
”subcutaneous differentiation mechanotide“ [B&W Monochrome edition, digital Art, 24th November 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
B&W Monochrome is best viewed full screen to get a sense of all the words.
Next is my own exact one-take spontaneous vocal recording, no alteration to my vocals. I did not preconceive any idea to produce a vocal artwork with this recording.
Just me formulating artistic ideas ready to produce a [digital] canvas later in the day [best with good headphones or music speakers 🎧🔉]:
[available upon request]
My last edition (of the three) is the SolarScape shown immediately below:
”subcutaneous differentiation mechanotide“ [Solarscape edition, digital Art, 24th November 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
The colours art so cool in this I think, do you? Again, viewing full screen reveals the words much more clearly of course.
Returning to my vocals, I spontaneously say the word ‘differention’, as there is no such word in the English language to my knowledge. I believe I am somehow inspired by the Basquiat use of misspelt linguistics having viewed a (previously unseen) specific work of Jean-Michel online the day before.
Intriguing.
For my digital artwork I chose “differentiation” to create lyrical contrast. I feel “differention” became an artwork of itself in the vocals rather than on my digital canvas. I didn’t try to produce a lyrical performance even though I speak with artistically unintended melancholic verbalisation due entirely to the subject matter [of mechanotide].
My human vocal recording was 100% produced to ensure I formulated good ideas for my canvas artwork.
I digitally inserted ”evil mechanotide #2“ [digital Art, 17th November 2023] into ”subcutaneous differentiation mechanotide“ [24th November 2023] for speed of working, whilst also since I love the mouse written style of ‘MECHANOTIDE’ in that work.
”evil mechanotide #2“ [digital Art, 17th November 2023] is an exact digital inclusion from ”evil mechanotide“ [digital Art, 8th October 2023].
Here is the inserted art in a macro image:
”evil mechanotide #2“ [digital Art, 17th November 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
This is edited in these newer mechanotide versions with corresponding colours and/or textures added using a digital painting package.
The word ‘subcutaneous’ was an instant idea whilst I was digitally drawing.
Here is a Youtube version of my artwork with images and words by a popular Text-to-Speech service:
”mechanotide ziggurat differention“ [Artwork Images with Vocals by a popular service, digitally produced using my three original words combined in the title, 24th November 2023], mp4 video format.
For myself as a person I perceive a vast plethora of content from within my complex layers of ideas, as Basquiat did throughout his incredible artworks.
I am interested to know which of these three digital editions you like the most.
“M Art Life – Original” [digital Art, 1st November 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
I loved my ‘M Art Life’ digitally freehand drawn graphic so much I decided to make a GIF Animation and a nine grid Collage using different colours.
Here is the collage:
“M Art Life – Collage” [digital Art, 1st November 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Every artist has an instinct as to how viewers might respond to their creativity. I felt this way about this graphic design work.
My ‘M Art Life’ motto followed on from an earlier work I produced entitled ”thirty seven hours”. In a way this is interconnected of idea in terms of secular occupation concept. The actual graphic for this is digitally hand drawn and directly copied from my own work entitled ‘pups love their fur’. Of course, I legally own the copyright for my own works.
My GIF shown immediately below includes Morse Code to communicate the words ‘M Art Life’ through visual flashes of dots { as one 20/100th/s }, dashes { as one 40/100th/s } and spaces { as one 60/100th/s }
The Morse code reads “- – / .- .-. – / .-.. .. ..-. .” or simply “M Art Life”:
“M Art Life – GIF” [digital Art animation, 1st November 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
”1400=1400“ [digital Art, 26th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
“NO TERRORIST actions against innocent, non-combatant civilians can ever be justified. Such unlawful criminal actions are contrary to teachings, International Law and the Law of Conscience.”
I made four versions including an animated GIF of this original artwork. Humanitarian work requires impartiality, empathy and law.
I am dedicating these artwork editions to the non-combatant civilians killed in wars.. all.. around.. the.. world.
Here are the complimentary versions:
First a monochrome edition,
”1400=1400 – It’s in Black & White“ [digital Art, 26th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Next a white background edition for contrast:
”1400=1400 – White Trident, Black Bombs“ [digital Art, 26th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
The following edition has black & white elements with vibrant comic style colours:
”1400=1400 – Comic Book“ [digital Art, 26th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Finally a GIF version featuring five images, varying the tones for interest, with the two final slides in black and white. The latter two slides alternate the words LOVE, democracy, bullets, missiles and bombs for contextual purpose to the primary anti-war theme. The words NEGATIVE and costs (in HUMAN terms) also alternatively fade by pure chance.
Pure chance since none of these words were specifically selected to produce this artistic animation idea:
”1400=1400 – GIF animation“ [digital animation Art, 26th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
I hope you enjoy the conscientious message from these artworks.
”Ancient Katana – Solar Flare“ [digital Art, 23rd October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
I made these digital Ancient Katana artworks very quickly, in terms of their complexity to produce. I used specific digital techniques without a reference drawing.
Here is a black and white monochrome version:
”Ancient Katana – Monochrome“ [digital Art, 23rd October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
The glint of metal is something I wanted to capture in my artwork.
I made six versions including Sepia Sun edition, immediately below.
”Ancient Katana – Sepia Sun“ [digital Art, 23rd October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
”Ancient Katana – Sepia Sun“ feels as if it is born from the depths of a fiery furnace.
Next is ‘Molecular Structure’:
”Ancient Katana – Molecular Structure“ [digital Art, 23rd October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
”Ancient Katana – Molecular Structure“ could have been entitled ‘Charcoal’ in honour of Japanese katana swordmaking techniques. Charcoal is placed over the sword during the heating process. Molecular Structure refers to the beauty of steel at the atomic level.
I feel Molecular Structure gives a sense of that metallic form.
”Ancient Katana – Tan Handle“ [digital Art, 23rd October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
After completing the original ”Ancient Katana – Tan Handle“ I thought ‘what can I do to make this even more beautiful to the viewer?’
Hopefully you feel I have achieved good versions from the Original.
FInally an edition I nearly did not include:
”Ancient Katana – Purple Tinge“ [digital Art, 23rd October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
At first I believed ”Ancient Katana – Purple Tinge“ showed a dulled metal sword. Then I realised this is the sword before the expert polishing process!
The moral of this story is there is beauty to be found if we take the time to let it shine. We need to temper with love.
“𝒀𝒊𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒚𝒂𝒉𝒖 𝒀𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒖𝒂 & 𝑪𝒆𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒔 in Red/Green” [digital Art (SolarScape), 10th September 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels. *bold italics form part of the artwork’s title.
I made four versions of “𝒀𝒊𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒚𝒂𝒉𝒖 𝒀𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒖𝒂 & 𝑪𝒆𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒔”: ‘Red/Green’, ‘Black & White’, ‘Pure’ and ‘Original’ [in Red/Cyan].
The artwork is literally a very quick spontaneous doodle. This represents a phenomenon of human experience rarely understood and vastly unknown.
The purpose of this artwork is to understand that no human being will do everything perfectly, even if one is perfect.
These artworks as a theme show different elements of the lives of the persons and how this is to be interpreted.
How you view this artwork is for you to decide. You could view this piece as condemnation or revelatory. You could view this piece as the human experience of spontaneous emotion.
Note the artistically drawn characters are seemingly founded to the Earth whilst their spirit ascends upwards to heaven.
Next we have the artwork version entitled ‘Holy’:
“𝒀𝒊𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒚𝒂𝒉𝒖 𝒀𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒖𝒂 & 𝑪𝒆𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒔 – Holy” [digital Art, 10th September 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels. *bold italics form part of the artwork’s title.
Here is the ‘Original’ version:
“𝒀𝒊𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒚𝒂𝒉𝒖 𝒀𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒖𝒂 & 𝑪𝒆𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒔 – Original” [digital Art (SolarScape), 10th September 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels. *bold italics form part of the artwork’s title.
I digitally drew this within fifteen or thirty minutes.
Lastly we have the ‘Pure’ version:
“𝒀𝒊𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒚𝒂𝒉𝒖 𝒀𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒖𝒂 & 𝑪𝒆𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒔 – Pure” [digital Art, 10th September 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels. *bold italics form part of the artwork’s title.
In the ‘Pure’ version I love the idea that racial heritage makes no difference in the ability to be spiritually pure, clean, holy or even perfect.
Human beings are inherently spiritual. Asking questions from an early age: who are we, what are we, where did we originate from, what is the purpose to life?
Creation is faith. Evolution is faith.
Most secular people receive a wage after their work is done.. this too is faith.
”Frontier³“ [digital Art, 17th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
My artwork features complex layers of difficulties facing modern populations and culture.
I made three versions including the Original edition shown above.
Do humans in hierarchy ever learn from history?
– “Answers on a postcard from Space, please.”
”Frontier³ in Black & White“ [digital Art, 17th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
”Frontier³ in Black & White“ is very legible.
”Frontier³ – SolarScape“ [digital Art, 17th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
”Frontier³ – SolarScape“ includes additional editing to make the monochromatic and colourised contrasts stand out. ‘debt you pay’ was overlayed in red to differentiate from the ‘in Black & White’ version.
My series of humanitarian artworks in this style replicate ‘neon signs’ and digital ‘classroom/workshop demonstrations’ to get the messages across.
Every visual artist wishes to contribute to the betterment of society in some way. Whether this be humanitarian, cultural, local sociability or difficulties facing our modern world.
”Propulsion – Monochrome“ [digital Art, 13th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
”Propulsion – Monochrome“ shows that an idea can be crafted into a beautiful art formation.
Here is the original artwork from where Monochrome is derived:
”Propulsion – Original“ [digital Art, 13th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
As you can see ”Propulsion – Original“ does not have the same mystery and believability as Monochrome. It required intricate digital editing for me to create these pieces.
I feel that ”Propulsion – Infrared“ once again has some credibility to the image:
”Propulsion – Infrared“ [digital Art, 13th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
To be honest “Propulsion” as an artwork mixes popular science-fiction with reality to bring us to the future.
”Hawks & Sparrows – Original“ [digital Art, 10th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
All artists appreciate instantaneous inspiration whenever it arrives. Most of my ideas for this artwork occurred so quickly I immediately began to write these in readiness. You might notice the hawk and sparrows are obscured in the artwork.
I wish each viewer to interpret this artwork in their own way.
Here are the different versions for my artwork:
”Hawks & Sparrows – Black with White“ [digital Art, 10th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
”Hawks & Sparrows – Black with White“ has the easiest readability to get the message across.
”Hawks & Sparrows – In Red Blood“ [digital Art, 10th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
”Hawks & Sparrows – In Red Blood“ is a peace not war type of title with the idea that black and white signage represents racial, religious, cultural and geographical differences.
”Hawks & Sparrows – SolarScape“ [digital Art, 10th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
”Hawks & Sparrows – SolarScape“ is pure pop art messaging with iconography.
”Hawks & Sparrows – Embossed“ [digital Art, 10th October 2023] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, digital artwork, 1920 x 1080 pixels.
”Hawks & Sparrows – Embossed“ gives the sense of oppression with psychological causes and effects arising. Of course, this is no justification for wanton, unlawful violence!
Merely an artwork communicating human interactions within a given realm of historical understanding and core set of circumstances.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela.
