In art, as in science, reductionism does not trivialize our perception - of color, light, and perspective - but allows us to see each of these components in a new way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Art does not reproduce what we see; rather, it makes us see.
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
In many museums, you see one of this and one of that. You gain an understanding of what Abstract Expressionism or Minimalism is, but you aren't given the chance to appreciate the mind of an artist.
In my art, I deconstruct and then I reconstruct, so visual perception is one of my primary interests.
What is art but a way of seeing?
It's not a science when you are judging art, but we'd be remiss to say you can't look at something and say, 'This is more well done than that.'
At first I had some idea that the absence of color made the work more physical. Early on I was very involved with the notion of the painting as an object and tended to attack that idea from different directions.
Short form media is reductionist by nature.
Art, to me, is the interpretation of the impression which nature makes upon the eye and brain.
Perspective in art has receded along with harmony in music: We tend more and more to see the world as a heap of intrinsically meaningless fragments.
