Looking Outwards-02

I admire the Flow Fields, reinterpretation of Vincent van Gogh’s most famous works, by LIA in 2018. I like how it takes such a famous artwork, my favorite is the Sunflower reinvention, and puts a unique spin on it because of the artist’s sensibilities. In the case of the sunflowers, it is how the lines move and flow as if they are blossoming. The blossoming movement is the artist’s variation on the original Sunflower’s lines but through a generative art technique called vector fields or flow fields. This technique reveals lines and loops that happen in magnetic and energy fields. There are endless variations to the ways the lines can move. The artist also uses Van Gogh’s color palette as a base to try to bring the viewer closer to the original. I also admire how different sections of the work can go through different motions at the same time. The timing of this and how each movement goes together with the others to form the larger picture is part of how the artist comes through in the work. However, I think there was still more room for the artist to add in their own personality. Perhaps by changing up the variations of the lines.
