Artist Statement We are a group of 2 artists, mainly interested in abstract and psychedelic photography.

Artists' statement

We make art because we believe that art shapes peoples minds and heals
their souls, much as we feel that other artists' works heal and inspire
us.

The greatest influence on us was perhaps Hundertwasser, who called
straight lines 'the devil's tools'.

Technique we explore these days is taking pictures while moving the
camera, experimenting with different subjects and types of lighting.
If you think about it we never perceive reality as still. Even if we
don't move relatively to observed objects and the objects themselves
are steady, our eyes make fast movements, locating interesting parts
of the scene to concentrate on, building up a corresponding mental,
three-dimensional 'map'. In this sense, it is the still image which is
an abstraction, whereas the would-be abstract image is more 'real' or
'realistic'. This could be one of reasons why we like what we call
'abstract' - our brains are used to deal with this type of
information.

Our approach relates to a variety of techniques and ideas in modern
art. The inclusion of movement, unusual visual angles and vivid colors
make it a development of Impressionism. Street and landscape photos,
made in the day light with long wave-like and curly hand motion
resemble works of Surrealists. Оthers made with artificial light
resemble abstract expressionistic paintings. Camera motion can create
an image abstraction in many ways artists have conceived of before,
but we believe it can also create new types of visual expression and
this is one of the areas of our artistic research.
