Description

I've been working on a series of ink drawings using drafting tools to combine very regular lines and shapes with my freehand fine line geometries. A simultaneous companion series takes those drawings, digitizes them and then uses digital tools to extend the capabilities of drawing as a technique. Mathematics of Allure is one of the works from that companion digital series. It is a large digital work based on a small drawing as a "launching point."
In the real space drawing, white ink was used to inscribe phrases like "sexy sexy sexy drawing" onto a white background. These phrases were meant to be subtle or even subliminal, depending on how the drawing is viewed and presented. The abstract geometric drawing was constructed on top of the text. I have found that subliminals in drawings and paintings do tend to make them attractive. I've done the experiment numerous times at Art Festivals (ahhhh…. and now you know my little mad science secret)

In this digital work, some of the digital filters make that subtle text more visible, while at the same time a bit more difficult to read. The geometries and color layering really define the piece. Math and geometry ARE sexy. This piece really IS safe for work. It may just make people a bit more receptive to Abstract Art.

The resulting piece is meditative, like rain and raindrops or gazing into space and contemplating the orbits of planets and stars. Always there's the subtle reminder that sex is why we persist and that this is a very subtly sexy digital painting.
