At the surgery table.

Well, so then, one may ask, what is neofauvism?, how you will manipulate a preceding model (the fauvist one) to attach to it some new structure or components that might appear as an evolution of the previous state?.
I'd say: Can you wait for a second? :-) I'm a fauve, some kind of fierce character, don't push me :-)
At first, know that fauvism takes out the obligation of colours to be descriptive (colour becomes another order of meaning). White bones may appear as colourful bones (like in the preceding post below). Basically that's fauvism, sort of still naturalistic representation of figures with a fierce colourful stand at representing the inner state of the artist; because the artist shows its internal states in colours, so, the naturalistic figures: are the outside world; the fauvist colours: represent the many times tormented artist, longing for freedom over restrictions. Basically.
So, how to go beyond? Well, widening the painting spectrum, by adding more impressionist or expressionist elements in the yet naturalist parts of the whole... Yet, HOW? Don't push! :-) We all know that the figurative world came down to knowledge to create a tree of archetypes: a table is recognized as a table no matter how crooked it is, as far as it contains its component parts related as we know the tables are in general.
Then: relaxing the figures in space, or reducing them to the minimum recognizable components is one step forward to _neo_ fauvism.
But there are more: Perspective too, we might distort the perpective to allow us to see more than one environment or moment in time (and there are even more possibilities).
So, then, figures relaxed, and perpective (space) and time (succession) distorted to allow a wider experience to the spectator, and wider creative experience to the painter, are two of many more elements that can be added to fauvism to take it to neofauvism.
One simple example is this painting of mine: "En la mesa de operaciones" (At the surgery table), where you can see one body reduced in constitutive elements (A doctor), the lights over the table, and the lights over the hospital hallway, all elements lived through by the patient (painter/spectator may be) during its distressed time in its way to the surgery room.




I'll like to have a neofauvist manifesto sometime, but I'm sooo laaazy to think the theory...

All the paintings I post here are created with an evolutionary art software that allows me to mutate and evolve specimens (forms and colours) using genetic algorithms. One might say that they are living forms in some way; but not me, I'm not crazy, man. :-)

I hope you enjoy this one.
