'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), and turing it up-side-down, and inside out, to get to the final photographic art representation. The disorderly from within the work, that is the order of the design built into the photographic artwork. Thus, these are 'two-steps' artwork creationsfirst-step, creating a painting or photographing an urban still-life of a wall; and then, second-step, taking the original creation and designing a final art photograph. Many of these artworks are Geometric Abstract works, as Nawfal is highly influenced by the great abstract artists Mark Rothko and Piet Mondrian, who also used a considerable amount of geometry in their works.Imagekind Photo Number: 2,254.Tags:Orderly, disorderly, order, chaos, control, abstract art EXPRESSIONISM, Modernism, Nawfal Johnson, Georgetown, Malaysia, all-over painting, ambidextrous, action painting, never-ending, dark and light, Geometric-Abstract, Mondrian, lines,
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.
