'Disorderly-Order', the name of this series, has two distinct meanings. One, there is a method (Order) to the madness (Disorder) in the execution of these artworks. Two, the artist is taking a 'more orderly' painting, or a fragment of an urban wall (photographed), or smoke-art photographs, and then turning it up-side-down, and inside-out, to get to the final photographic art representation. The disorderly characteristics from within the work are equal to the orderly nature of the design, for which the works are designed. The Photographist is working from that natural law of nature, which states that 'No new matter is created in the Universe.' Thus, these are 'two-steps' artwork creationsThe first-step is creating a painting (or photographing an urban still-life of a decaying wall, or capturing a smoke still-life); and then, the second-step is taking the original creation and designing a final art photograph using the 'matter', or contents, of the original photographs.Tags:#Orderly, #disorderly, #order, #chaos, #control, #abstractart , #EXPRESSIONISM, #Modernism, #NawfalJohnson, #Georgetown, #Malaysia, #alloverpainting, #ambidextrous, #actionpainting, #neverending, #darkandlight, #Rothko, #Pollock, #Mondrian, #Newman, #Cezanne, #Kandinsky, #actionpainting, #explosionofcolor, #imagekind, @imagekind, #abstraction, #red, #blue, #green, #purple, #black
Nawfal Johnson Nur, Malaysia Member Since September 2006 Artist Statement IMAGEKIND: ARTIST BIO — Nawfal Johnson — Smokephotographist Beginnings: When I pick up my camera ... when I compose the subjects in the frame ... and, when I plan and set up my lighting, I have one thing in mind — To take a better photograph than the last time.
I have been using a camera as a hobbyist since I was 12 years old, and then as a freelance professional since 1998.
Photography is a Madness for Me — My Work: I have been a long-time Freelance Stage & Dance Photographer; nevertheless, I focus much of my energy designing fine art Abstract, and, Abstract Expressionism Photography. I also design SMOKE-ART PHOTOGRAPHY, and that is the art style I focused on in my 2011 book, titled, ETHEREAL DREAMS and HOPE.
My Artistic Influences: My main artistic influences are Jackson Pollock and Robert Henri. As for photographic influences, I have always drawn inspiration from photographers Carl Fischer, and Andreas Feininger.
