"Black Circle" DSGA


Tom R. Chambers works with his "Digital Suprematism - Geometric Abstraction" (DSGA) project ( https://chambersarts.godaddysites.com/ ) by placing the art pieces within Kazimir Malevich's "Black Circle" zone. They become rounded due to the zonal effect ("gravitation") and "drop" to the center-bottom of "Black Circle". Malevich's "Black Circle" is configured onto a white background close to its original positioning in 1915.


The DSGA art pieces are derived from pixel configurations, and they stem from digitized reproductions of Kazimir Malevich's early works prior to his Suprematism. They are magnified, filtered and precisely isolated to provide geometric abstractions within color-field settings.


They are brought to the forefront to celebrate Malevich's latent and ultimate creativity which gave way to Suprematism with the display of "Black Square", "Black Circle", "Black Cross" and other works in 1915 as part of the Last Futurist Exhibition of Paintings 0,10.


Kazimir Malevich's "Black Circle" depicts a monumental black circle floating on a flat white background. It is, along with his "Black Square" of 1915, one of his most well-known early works in this field, depicting pure geometrical figures in primary colors. He described the painting in spiritual terms; "new icon" for the aesthetics of modern art, and he believed that its clarity and simplicity reflected traditional Russian piety. (Wp)
